In reply to Budeprion (Generic) vs. Wellbutrin, posted by Daniel2000 on September 30, 2004, at 7:41:28
My preference in general is to use brand name medications since I have noticed quite a bit of fluctuation in the dosage equivalency of generics. For cost reasons, however, it has become a necessity to use generic drugs whenever they are available.
I have used the Wellbutrin SR brand, bupropion SR generic, and budeprion SR generic and have noticed differences between them. Bupropion SR gave me no more side effects but seemed to be less effective than the brand name medication. Budeprion SR not only seemed less effective to me, it also caused extreme nausea - possibly because there is practically no coating on the tablet to slow the drug's absorbption. I have gone back to bupropion SR even though it is almost twice the cost of budeprion SR.
