My doctor had me begin the generic Buproprion XL 150mg to accompany my 150mg of Zoloft. Last year Id had a few major life stressors, consecutively, and was diagnosed with PTSD. The Wellbutrin was added to the mix to give me extra energy/confidence, as I had become housebound.
Day 20 of the generic, I broke out in a horrible rash, itchy rash. Nothing Ive ever felt before.
The medication worked so well, and I felt so amazing, I asked my doctor to special order me the name brand, in a last stitch effort to stay on the drug. Everything was just clear, I was able to think straight again. I felt at peace with everything that had happened. I cried, a lot, and it was such a release of emotions that it felt great. My responses, for lack of term, were normal. I felt as thought I was finally healing.
I was wondering if anyone else had a success switching from generic to name brand to avoid an allergic reaction.
My second part question is, does any have suggestions on the next route if the name brand doesnt work ? Obviously my doctor has the final say, but I like to walk into appointments as educated as possible.
