There probably isn't much of a difference between the brand name and the generic wellbutrin. People who say there is a difference may be ones who are more susceptible to a placebo effect.
They recently did a study and found that people responded better to a placebo when they thought it was a more expensive pill. So this may also be the case for wellbutrin. People only think the brand name is better because it is more expensive than the generic. Both the brand and generic contain the exact same molecule, so there probably isn't a huge difference in the side effect profile.
