Never let anyone tell you that generics

[IAG]

are the same as brand name medications. Maybe some, but not all. This generic WB is making me crazy.

Are you qualified to make such a diagnosis?

Maybe you are actually crazy.

The thing about crazy people is that they cannot be convinced they are crazy.


I seriously doubt I will convince you.

Yes, I am.

Maybe I am.

Untrue.

Very true.

If you mix the generics with whiskey they are as potent as brand names.

I will not let you or anyone else tell me this.

If the generic of whatever it is you're taking is still patented, it has to be at least 20% different from the patented drug. I don't know how they assess the difference % but they do.

Patent law is an abomination.

The patent JUST expired. This bottle is months old and thus obviously released before expiration.

Generic Welbutrin is shit.

Generic Welbutrin is shit.

THANK YOU.


I have been on the brand...in fact my doctor will not even write a script unless it is the brand name....the time release mechanism on the extended release is messed up on the generics...it releases the medicine all at one time. I was out of my brand so took an old generic I had...wow. about 2:00 I flipped out. Never had that happen and I had been on the generic before...actually that's not true..had some side effects but they were magnified by the two starbucks doubleshots I had....when I was taking generic I limited caffeine...anyway...wb rocks but only brand name if in time released formula. I will never do that again. I really felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Weird.

I've only had a couple of prescriptions in my life. No for me.

So, my new insurance company will not cover the brand name unless I go thru a bunch of hoops...the out of pocket cost is a bit over $1000 a month ...(odd that when I was having problems a few months back the out of pocket price was $750 a month) Agent told me I could get a letter from my doctor requiring brand, but she fooled around and did not get it done, so here I am. Day 1 on generic Wellbutrin... I'm already feeling hopped up like I'm on speed.

Casper, you said that generic WB is shit, what was your experience? Just didn't work ? Weird side effects?

Is this why I bought a picnic basket?
