Suggest Alternative Over The Counter Medicine For Wellbutrin
Today when I went to pick up my prescription Wellbutrine 150mg they told me that my insurance no longer covers it bt will cover the generic brand Bupropion 150. I am worried about the side effects of changing meds. I fell great and my anxiety is under control. I have a very stricked budget. What changes can I expect?
Thanks for reference, The change of brand is not a problem and you can go for Bupropion safely. Because
1.Now a days the drug regulation is quiet systematic and scientific. For a drug to be in market the brand has to prove "The drug is bio equivalent to the standard drug available. So after standardization only it gets approval to come into the market.
2. The only concern is of fake/spurious drug(a kind of Cheating) that can happen with any brand/generic but ,unlikely if you get from reliable sources.
Thank you.
