I have been taking Wellbutrin SR for the last 4 years for PMDD. Things were going so good, I thought it was gone. The first of the year, I went to get my script refilled, and I was told that my insurance company would no longer cover the name brand - only the generic. I said fine, I take generic drugs for a lot of other things and have no problems. After the first day, I didn't sleep but for a couple of hours every night, (which I never have a problem with). I was VERY irritable, short tempered, very depressed, and plain mean. I noticed that I was grinding my teeth and was constantly on edge. Then, I realized that I had had a sharp pain behind my right eyebrow for the last 10 days. When I started to cry over a card game, I knew something was wrong. I got on-line to see if I could find out what my problem was. Low and behold - After reading up on this drug, I realized that the problem was the generic. Of course, my insurance company won't pay for the name brand, so I paid the $198.00 for the name brand, just to see if it worked. I can't believe the difference. I can sleep all night, no headaches, no road rage, no signs of any depression, etc. My insurance company told me that there are 24 other brands of generic and I had to try more that just one. I can't believe that they are telling me that I have to go through those 10 days again. I can't do it.
