Avatar f tn Is anyone getting ringing in the ears from taking Generic Wellbutrin(Bupropion sr ) 150 mg. Here is my situation I have been on amitriptiline 25 mg 4 years then went up to 50 mg for 3 years. I started taking only one 150 mg of bupropion sr this is my 5 day. Can I stop taking the amitriptiline with no withdrawls after only 5 days of Bupropion? or has it not been long enough. I hoping that I can stop the amitriptiline by taking the bupropion sr in place of the amitriptiline.
Avatar n tn Many patients also reported a loss of antidepressive effect. Patients who thereafter switched back to Wellbutrin XL or an alternative generic (such as Bupropion XL manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals) saw a return of the antidepressive effect and lessening of side effects.
Avatar f tn I am suffering from I believe depression I have problems sleeping this has recently started wierd thoughts and its very disturbing, I feel said and hopeless my doctor put me on Bupropion and I felt better the first day the next day I eel over active different? Have any one taken Bupropion and whats your reactions?
1325668 tn?1294444126 Bupropion is the generic name for Wellbutrin. Years ago it had some success and I even know a few who quit using it. I would imagine, because it is also an antidepressant it might cause dizziness. It may take a few days to adjust and if it persists I would talk to your doctor. Good luck on your quit and if you need any support, we are here for you.

Avatar f tn what is a generic drug?
Avatar n tn The switched to cymbaltor, due to high costs (even with insurance) of this medication is wanting to switch to somethig that is less expensive and that has a generic available. What about Wellbutrin or do you have any other suggeations?
Avatar m tn * Nonstimulant medication, such as the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin and generic) or atomoxetine (Strattera), which is not available as a generic.
Avatar f tn There seems to be a general consensus that the generic bupropion and the Name Brand Wellbutrin are quite different. Why doesn't everyone that comments on taking on or the other mention if they are taking the generic or name brand? I think if they did we would get a much better idea of the differences.
950277 tn?1247274551 Ask your doc for Wellbutrin or generic bupropion SR (I have taken both, there are absolutely no difference and generic is cheaper). Hope you'll feel better!
Avatar m tn CVS and Walgreens, for example, tend to use different generic manufacturers because CVS owns its own pharmacy benefits manager and therefore is much more restrictive on who they'll buy from. Because you should be able to special order the ones you had before if you know which manufacturer it was, assuming it's still available -- there's a lot of consolidation through mergers going on in the generic drug industry.
Business woman2 The Venlafaxine ER 75 MG Capsules that we stock are from two manufacturers, Teva and Aurobendo. Both manufacturers do not use neither Lactose nor Gluten as inactive ingredients. I hope that will be helpful. Thank you again.
Avatar f tn If you're on a generic, yes, many people do find that generics are often less effective than brand names and some generic manufacturers are better than others. Others don't notice these things. Generics are not identical to brand name drugs, they are similar enough to work pretty much the same but our bodies differ and might not absorb the generic as well.
Avatar m tn , the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which President Obama signed on March 23, 2010, authorized the Food and Drug Administration to approve generic versions of biologic drugs and grant biologics manufacturers 12 years of exclusive use before generics can be developed. Some else may have heard a rumor as to cost of new DAA meds. All new drugs will probably be rather expensive so either a trial or insurance will be needed to pay for the meds. Cheers!
Avatar n tn Zyban is a very effective medicine to help stop smoking. You need to take it for 10-14 days before it starts to work, so pick a date - say 2 weeks away - that you want to quit smoking, and start taking the Zyban immediately. Zoloft is NOT used for smoking cessation - Zoloft is almost exclusively used for depression, though sometimes it can be used for chronic pain as the pain often depletes the body's ability to deal with stress.
Avatar m tn Dopamine Receptor Agonist - Dostinex (Caborgoline generic). That is what I take for prolactin producing pituitary tumor. Is that what you are looking for?
4951398 tn?1365456743 Started Generic Wellbutrin 150 SR almost 2 weeks ago. Only taking 1 per day prescribed by a GP. Dose will probably change after my first actual phsyciatrist appt. this week. Question is: I got my period for the normal 5 days and have been spotting for 5 MORE DAYS AND COUNTING! Is this one of the "start up" side effects or a permanent thing???
Avatar n tn I've been taking Bupropion(generic) for 3 months. I've tried 300mg-XL, 2x150mg-SR, and both times (though I'd take the morning dose at 6AM) had a hard time falling asleep at night, tossing around in bed an hour or so. I normally don't have a sleeping problem. So, I now take only one 150mg-SR around 7AM and no afternoon dose. I can fall asleep fine now, but my energy runs out in the late afternoon ...
Avatar n tn I dont know if it is because they gave him a larger dosage or because it is a generic. When I ask him about it he just says I dont know anything because I am not a doctor.
7001009 tn?1386963933 SO, overall (disregarding manufacturer) I have been on 300mg of Bupropion (generic) for 55 days (almost 8 full weeks). Of those 8 full weeks I have been on Actavis's version of 300mg XL for just over 5 weeks. It has most definitely been a rollercoaster and this past week (week 8) has been very difficult - malaise, lethargy, and exhaustion with brief stints of intense happiness and energy which can last anywhere from 1 to 3-4 hours.

148588 tn?1465778809 The introduction of tweaked drugs in turn led to a burst of lawsuits by generic drug manufacturers challenging the legitimacy of the new patents and gave birth of a new cottage industry in the legal world. In reverse-settlement cases, the brand-name manufacturer pays the plaintiff to drop the suit and, in exchange, agree not to make a generic version of the drug for a specified period of time.
Avatar m tn Are you taking generic levo as opposed to a brand name? If so, the generics used by the two pharmacies might be from two entirely different manuacturers, This is often the reason endos give for using brand names only. However, given that these are T4-only meds, that drastic a change in one day is unlikely due to the hormones in the two. BUT, different manufacturers use different fillers or binders, and you may have had a reaction to those.
Avatar f tn I've been on Synthroid for about six-plus years. When finally diagnosed as hypo, my previous doctor said he wasn't even going to bother with generic because it doesn't work and put me on Synthroid. I knew my mother had issues with generic not working, so I wasn't going that route anyway. I've always insisted on name brand, but have had a doctor accidentally write a script for generic once before and it didn't work.
Avatar n tn I am taking the generic Wellbutrin called bupropion at 150mg a day. Will I lose or gain weight while being on 150mg? Is burpropion very different from Wellbutrin? Like are the side effects different in anyway? If I increase my dose to 300mg a day instead of 150mg will I lose more weight?
Avatar n tn hi,I have been on the same generic version of cytomel since July.once i tried another brand and i swear it made me feel ill,like slow walking..anyways we changed pharmasists and the only kind they have is the one i felt made me sick..so im trying it today..would there be any difference.i dont see how just a different manafactuer could make the pill make me feel bad I think Im just scared.
5066844 tn?1363095904 Your pharmacy probably just changed the manufacturer from which they buy their generic levo. The different manufacturers use different fillers in their tablets (the active ingredients in all are the same), and sometimes people react to those. One argument for taking a brand name rather than generic is that the manufacturer will always be the same. This keeps what you are taking more constant. Try calling your pharmacy to see if they have any of the old meds left.
Avatar m tn s true that different manufacturers use different fillers (these are used by both brand and generic manufacturers) and some people are sensitive to them. Often, switching brands or from generic to a brand name or brand name to generic can make a world of difference. You can take your meds any time that works best for you. The rule of thumb, though, is also that you should not have had anything to eat or drink for 3-4 hours prior to taking meds, i.e. your stomach is empty.
