After a four month break from Wellbutrin, I asked my doctor to put me back on due to depression and difficulty with some new chaos in my life. Before I picked up my new prescription, I took what was left of my last wellburtin prescription. My new prescription was budeprion XL...just figured it was a generic but the same med.I have been a wreck for the 10 days or so since I have been taking the budeprion. Crying often through out the day, worrying and obsessing more then ever about the issues that are depressing me. Feeling frantic and confused. I just called my pharmacy and was told that if there is a generic available it is given automatically unless the doctor specifies only a name brand. I will be on the phone with my doctor first thing tomorrow. This is far worse than without any drug. Thank goodness I thought to google "wellbutrin vs budeprion" and came across this site.

Wellbutrin & budeprion XL are not the same drug. the XL version is a 24 hour release and the SR is the same as the wellbutrin, this is a 12 hour release.
i know how you felt i was there, what was needed was for you to have the right dose for the right hours of release, too little will allow your feelings of sad to return i have been perscribed the budeprin SR and it works well to rid the feelings of sad.
