Has Anyone Tried The Generic Version Of Wellbutrin Sr Made By Sun Pharma Bupropion Hcl (Page 5) (Top voted first)

Hi - I just got a perscription for the Sun Pharma generic version of Wellbutrin SR (Bupropion HCL SR). Has anyone had success with this one? If not which generic version have you had success with?

I am in NYC, Brooklyn. Sandoz brand is very popular here. Not sure if it's because there are a large Indian population owned pharmacies or what.

Darla:

Your experiences are similar to mine - when taking the Sun Pharma 'bupropion' I rapidly experienced a decrease in my mood and affect. I had been through this before with the Actavis version of 'bupropion' and quickly went to my HMO pharmacist and obtained 10 tablets of Sandoz branded 100 MG SR bupropion - within a day my mood turned around.
I have been taking bupropion 100mg SR for 15 years and cannot tolerate any other version besides the Sandoz.
IMHO ALL the Asian sourced pharmaceuticals are not as-labeled. The culture in that part of the world tends toward fraud - it you get away with it, so much the better for you and if it has an effect on others than that's their problem.
Then again, the US Congress, run by Republicans paid off by global companies, has defunded the FDA to the point where they can't protect the American public against fraud - we are back to the situation in 1904 when the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed - back then it was copper sulphate in peas and opium in patent medicines. Now it's fake 'ethical' pharmaceuticals coming from our Trans Pacific Trading Partners - and if you accuse them of fraud then will sue you in the World Court. Good Luck.

I'm curious why you would ask such a question. By law both generic and brand must have the same chemical formulation to be called the same name to be prescribed. I think once we get into the game of "which is better" you are going down a slippery confusing slope. I know in the USA at leasts that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference when taking brand or generic when blindfolded.
