In reply to Budeprion (Generic) vs. Wellbutrin, posted by Daniel2000 on September 30, 2004, at 7:41:28
I have tried both, and find no difference at all. I started in 2002 with Wellbutrin SR, 150 mg daily (ne tablet daily). Over time my dosage was increased to 300 mg daily, for which I took Wellbutrin XR, 300 mg (again, one tablet daily.)
Changes in my employer's prescription drug insurance plan prompted me to try the budeprion. Instead of paying around $30 for a month's supply of Wellbutrin XR 300 mg under the old insurance plan, I could get THREE months' supply of budeprion for $5 under the new plan.
As far as I know, budeprion isn't manufactured in the 300mg strength, so now I take a 150 mg tablet twice a day instead of taking one tablet daily of the 300 mg XR formulation Wellbutrin.
It's been two months now, and so far, everything's just fine. Aside from getting accustomed to taking meds twice a day, I haven't discerned any difference at all between the Wellbutrin and the budeprion. Budeprion works just as well for me as Wellbutrin.
