I have been taking plain old Zyban because WB was not avail where I was. Looks like Zyban is the same exact as Wellbutrin SR which is sold in the US. New Dr just switched me to Bupropion XL, and I am having some annoying side effects. It feels like an allergy, but I can't say it is - I just have blurry vision, feels like my eyes are swollen, a bit of acid reflux and headachey which is very odd for me, and pretty bad night sweats. The worse is that I am binging on food like there is no tomorrow.
This is day 5 or so - at first I thought the dose was higher, and that is why I was having these side effects (have been on WB and WB SR for ages, then the Zyabn).
Looks like Bupropion XL has another drug called Aplenzin in it. I guess I have the generic. I wonder if the WB XL has the Aplezin in it also, and if not, that is what causes the side effects of the generic?
Anyone have any ideas? I am not liking these side effects - it is like changing medications entirely, and what I had was working quite well.
