Budeprion and goodness

Was prescribed this medication to help me quit smoking, and experienced severe headaches and severe depression. I can't believe they prescribe this medicine for depression. After 5 days, I was so depressed, I couldn't function. Thank goodness my husband recognized what was happening to me and convinced me to stop taking it.

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.

I am so glad that I found this site. I have been crying to the point of hyperventilation off and on for about 6wks. I have had some relationship issues that are difficult but my reactions are 10x stronger than they should be and I just haven't been able to "pull out of it" I keep asking myself, "Why am I so upset" My emotions are so out of control. I will be calling the doctor in the morning. Oh Thank Goodness, I was really starting to worry about myself and I especially don't want to make bad choices because I am so upset. Whew!!
