Hi everyone, I just went back on Buproprion as I was off meds for two months while nursing an injury and subsequent surgery back to health. I am currently taking a generic form of Buproprion and have noticed it is not quite as effective as Wellbutrin. My doctor has aslo prescribed a low dose of Adderall to help with additional focus when needed. I am trying to stay away from stimulant medication altogether. After taking the Adderall today, I was told this evening by a close friend that I really seemed different and something seemed off. I told her I had taken my “focus med”, and it sometimes makes my emotions/personality flat. This is one big reason I do not want to take stimulant medication. Which is why I wanted to try the Buproprion for ADHD. I took this med before I was diagnosed with ADHD for depression, and felt much better with it than SSRI’s. Still, the generic does not seem as effective . I’m in the US, and there are a few different manufacturers. So, I don’t know if anyone else has had the same effects from generics vs Wellbutrin.
