what a drag! to have to discontinue the original wellbutrin, go to cymbalta for over a month and then to return to what you thought would be wellbutrin only to find you've been given a less than adequate generic.........argh!
the symptoms you describe often can accompany starting wellbutrin. the nausea often abates after two weeks for some....longer for others. as for the lightheadedness it could be from the wellbutrin building back up in your system.
the raciness and amped feelings aren't comfortable but since we know they're not permanent we'll ride out the bumpiness and wait for that middle ground to come again.
lightheadness often happens within an hour or so of taking the namebrand XL for us....we chalk this up to acceptible SEs as we've been through worse and this is good 'nuff for us. if it was ongoing throughout the day then we'd not be so accepting of that particular SE.
good luck with the pharmacy. let us know how things turn out.
dang this budeprion once daily (generic for wellbutrin XL) just doesn't have enough of the active ingredient or just doesn't have the same time release as the namebrand.
it isn't a matter of anti-generics as four of five meds are generics for us. no problem with the other four.....just this one. let's keep a working thing going, eh?
