Bupropion, sold under the brand names Wellbutrin and Zyban among others, is an atypical antidepressant primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and to support smoking cessation.[6][7] Bupropion is an effective antidepressant on its own, but it is also popular as an add-on medication in the cases of incomplete response to the first-line selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant.[7][8] Bupropion has seve...

Round Pill (small) imprinted with WPI3332. Supposedly Bupropion XL 300mg but it seems much smaller than it should be. ## I just received a prescription of Bupropion XL, and it looks totally different that what I've received for the same medication and strength in the past (I use Aetna RX by mail). In the past it has been a capsule, and now it is a tablet with the same lettering you describe WPI 3332. Very unusual for there to be such a dramatic change and nothing by way of explanation. I called pharmacy and was told that the pharmacy had started using a different manufacturer for the generic and that more than one manufacturer often manufactures a generic drug once the patent runs out. WATSON LAB is the manufacturer of Bupropion WP! 3332. I think it's always good to question thi...

I have been on bupropion SR 100mg tablets twice daily for several years and am pleased with the results. This week my pharmacy filled my 3 month rx with bupropion ER (from 2 different manufacturers, slight color variation) with no mention of the switch other than explaining the color difference. Can I continue to take the ER twice a day? Contact my Dr.? Question the pharmacist? I see from previous posts that the prescribed dosing is usually different for SR & ER. Thanks ## I am not sure where you read that, but there is no difference between the SR and ER, they both just designate it as being a time released formulation of the medication, so the dosage would remain the same. You may also see other abbreviations used for it, such as CR, CD, XR and etc. but they all mean the same thin...

I was taking bupropion MPI 3332, round white tablet(Generic Welbutrin 30xl), I changed pharmacies and recieved this white oblong caplet with M B9 printed on one side. I felt alot of anxity start to build over the next few days and the one cigarette I had finally worked down to(ultra light 72 [the teeny shot ones]), was now back up to half pack or more and full on regular light 100's! I thought nothing of it other than a breif passing moment while in the pharmacy and that was that. Well now hindsight 20/20 I think these are crap and switch backed to my old pharmacy and doing much better. ## Hi T Beau, Sorry to hear about your experience with that other generic you switched over to. From what I understand, there could've been a lot less of the actual active ingredients in that par...

the most recent refill of bupropion a 101 has been leaving my digestive tract undissolved. my food is digesting as usual. what's the deal? ## Hello, Bobble! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and they list it as being a 150mg Budeprion XL tablet, which is most commonly used to treat depression and as a smoking cessation aid. That said, that is just the shell of the pill that's being expelled. That is normal with time released medications. But you are getting the full dose, just as prescribed. Typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

My dr prescribes 3 a day and my insurance will only pay for 2 a day. I cannot afford to pay for the rest of the medication ## Hello, Patsy! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. What dosage and formulation has been prescribed? There are various doses available, as well as time released formulations, so your doctor may be able to switch you to one of those, which may be covered by your insurance. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, nervousness and insomnia.

I would like to slowly begin to stop taking the Bupropion, what is the best way to do that? I take 150 mg 1x daily ## You're on the time released formulation, so you can just cut or divide the pills, since that may cause you to get too much of the medication at once. Learn more Bupropion details here. Have you consulted your doctor? They may be able to prescribe a lower dose to enable you to taper off of it to minimize the rebound effects.

What other drug would be very close to the Bupropion to substitute.My doc.told me to cut dosage in half and see if muscle pain lessens.If not then we are going to see what would work for me.On 150 it was great and helped me feel normal in years.So that is why I hope we can see how half works.Pain is still 24/7 but does respond to alleve and is about 5 out of 10 now.Possible it has not reached efficafy point at 4 weeks maybe? Thanks Thanks ## Hello, Juan! How are you? Are you using it to treat depression? There are many other options available that you can try, there are SSRIs, SARIs, SNRIs, MAOIs and tricyclics. You may want to talk to your doctor about trying an SARI, since they can also sometimes help with nerve pain, so they may prevent more issues than they cause for you.

Hello I was just prescribed 100 mg of bupropion sr twice a day. It's a blue pill that says E410. I was wondering if this pill causes weight gain? ## Hi Ali, How are you? Contrary to what you might be experiencing, the drug monograph for Bupropion only lists "weight loss" as a general side effect, and nothing to do with weight gain in that regard. However digging a little deeper I did notice other individuals post their concerns about having problems with gaining extra weight while they were taking Bupropion. With that said, part of me does wonder if taking this medication may have resulted in certain changes in behavioral/emotional patterns when it comes to eating more or less food throughout the day. The ironic part is that it also lists "loss of appetite" as a pote...

Does anyone else have Accord for the manufacturer? And do your pills smell like sulfur/rotten eggs? ## Yes! I just got my 150mg XL refill. the mfr is accord healthcare and they smell like rotten eggs. I'm not taking them. Going to try to get brand name. I didn't have this problem when I took 75mg twice a day. ## Some medications naturally have a smell due to the specific chemicals involved in their ingredients. You don't always smell it, however, because some manufacturers coat their pills to hide the odor. The FDA warns that Bupropion may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and dry mouth. Ref: Bupropion Information Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been taking bupropion XL 150 mg once a day now for 6 days now and as the day go on I have a strange feeling in my body kind of like some anxiety by the evening!! I also take 40mg of Fluoxetine daily. I've been taking 20 mg of the fluoxetine for 25 years with no side effects. But this feeling I get from the bupropion is not good. My Dr added it because the depression started coming back!! I also have dry mouth and a faint headache. Will these symptoms go away? ## Hello, Maud! How are you? Yes, these symptoms may go away, after a month or so, once your body gets used to the medication. In the meantime, you may want to talk to your doctor about splitting your dose of Fluoxetine, taking half in the morning and half in the evening, that may help. Is there anything else I can hel...

i have received bupropion sr 150 and the have no stamp on them, they are round and light yellow. how do I know if they are the real drug, ## Did you ever find out? I just got the same thing and am afraid to take them ## This has also happened to me - got Buprotic (??) 150mg m/r tablets. The blister pack seems legit but the tablets have no identification stamped on them, plain off-white tablets. They came with 4 free Tadalafil tablets, called Erectafil, which I didn't really want but they are stamped, and they work!! Don't really know what to do next, I might send a Buprotic tablet off for analysis but I have no idea how to do this. ## OMG REALLY??? ask your pharmacist... or you cant i'm guessing?? ## Did you ever find out if these were legitimate or not? The 'buprotic...

Look, folks: You cannot talk about a generic buproprion without determining its manufacturer. There are quite a few generics out there, but it makes no sense to ask questions about a pill's appearance: name its manufacturer instead and then get your discussions going. ## Actually, the appearance can help determine the manufacturer, since some of them look different, but the markings/imprint must be included in the details. Learn more Bupropion details here. And this is true of all medications that are available as generics, not just Bupropion. Are there any comments or questions? ## Who makes the generic Wellbutrin XL150 marked "141" with no name? This is not effective for me and makes me more depressed and anxious and hands shake. ## HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A PROBLEM WITH GENER...

it is ayellow color oblong and it is made by teva i am looking for the ingredients active and non active ## My bupropion 300mg XL is white oblong with M B9 by mylan. Is substituted for Wellbutrin XL 300 mg tablets. Have yet to see a pic of the one I am taking. Is there someplace I have not looked? ## Wally ,I don't have a pic to post for you, but I can tell you that it is a white, oblong tablet with the code printed on it in black. NDC: 00378-2009 Do you have some reason to doubt that you've really received Bupropion? To the original poster, what are the markings on the tablet in question? This information would help with being able to answer your question. However, as to the active ingredient, that is Bupropion.

Will Bupropion hcl 100mg help with depression? I don't smoke. The doctor gave me this instead of adderall for adhd. Is it remotely the same? How long before it makes me feel even a little bit better? Thanks so much... ## Hello, Katgal2020! How are you? The FDA classifies Bupropion as an antidepressant that is also used to aid in smoking cessation. It is not approved to help with ADHD symptoms, but many people report it as being quite successful at helping with it and it isn't addictive like most of the other treatment options. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and mood swings. It will take about 4 weeks to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to see if it works for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

round off white with WPI 3332 ## It doesn't seem to have the same effect as wellbuterin xl 300. Headaches.... ## And you are just one of the many, many people in recent months who has complained about this exact same pill. Contrary to what you are told by doctors and pharmacist, generics DO NOT HAVE TO BE EXACTLY like the name brand, there are allowed to be some difference and for some people, even though these differences are considered minor, it is enough to mean that a generic will not work for them as well as the name brand. I suggest speaking to your doctor about the problem, you may need them to prescribe it as 'brand medically necessary' or see if other pharmacies in your area carry one that is made by a different company. ## Genetics were only required to have 80% of...

What is the difference between bupropion hcl xl and buproprion xl ## This type of thing often confuses people and I understand why. However, there is no difference. They are both the same medication, the hcl just hasn't been listed on both of them. It stands for hydrochloride and designates the specific chemical salt that the medication is derived from, but it doesn't have to be included on a prescription or medication label. I hope this clears it up for you! You can learn more Bupropion details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is the difference in Bupropion HCL and the generic wellbutrin SR ## You are wrong about that. They are not the same. I Take the Wellbutrin XL and twice they tried to switch me to the HCL. As soon as I start taking the supposedly same ...
