150 Mg Wellbutrin Sustained Release (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Since my pharmacy switched to Solco as the supplier of my Wellbutrin I have had all the symptoms, for which I was taking Wellbutrin, return. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I've been taking bupropion (blue pill) for almost 5 years now. Two months ago I was given a prescription for Solco SR200mg. After I lost my insurance my pharmacist said not to worry but the color of my Bupropion had changed from blue to pink. In the past two months I have noticed my behavior change so radically. Crying spells anger outbursts, sadness and major irritability plus nausea and body aches. After reading this information posted by so many of you I've decided to call my doctor in the morning first thing, tell him about this change and look at what other options might be. I think this change in my prescription has made a huge difference in my well-being for the worse.

So good to know I'm not crazy. I had trouble years ago and finally found a pharmacy that used Watson and have had no trouble for 8 years. A month ago they switched to Solco. They told me it was the same. I noticed a difference almost right away but didn't want to be seen as a nut case so just told myself to chill and everything would level out. It has been almost a month now and I am more depressed and irratable than ever! Today I can't stop crying so I will be calling my dr Monday.

So glad to finally see other's reviews/concerns over the Solco generic. Walgreen's has switched my manufacturer for buproprion SR 150 mg four times now, never once notifying me. This last time they switched to Solco, and it didn't take long for me to notice how ineffective, and at times detrimental, it was for my health. No energy, extreme mood swings, and less motivation on a daily basis than when not taking it. These negative effects were only compounded by my inability to find any information on the manufacturer or other people's experiences online. Needless to say, I asked Walgreen's to order Mylan for me and went off the Solco pills completely; I'd rather not take anything than take those. Currently going through the pulling teeth process of getting the actual Wellbutrin brand after trying all the generics, because while Mylan isn't causing obvious harmful side effects, it's not clear to me that it's improving any symptons either.

I have also experienced a reduced effectiveness of the medication since my pharmacy switched to the Solco generic form of Wellbutrin. I called the pharmacy and asked them to switch back to Mylan. And if you research Solco, you will see they are only a distributor, even their parent company doesn't seem to be a manufacturer, so there is no way to tell who/where the drug was really manufactured. All the key players in the company and the parent company appear to possibly be Chinese so I suspect it is manufactured in China, but I can't find that information.

My Solco generic Wellbutrin buproprion 150 mg pills are either ineffective or worse - how would I know? In either case I feel bad enough that I must now start the awful process of going off them completely. I live in WA state. If I felt up to fighting my insurance company to get the brand name approved even with the doctor writing "DAW" and going thru the whole prior authorization, I wouldn't need an antidepressant in the first place.

Hello, Deb0724! How are you?

As set forth in the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, there can be fluctuations in the amount of active ingredients in generic medications, they are allowed to differ from the name brands by as much as plus or minus 20% and they only have to measure against the name brand, not other generics. Thus, it is highly possible that one may have a little more of the active ingredient, while a different one may be slightly lower.

Can anyone else that's taken the one from Solco chime in with their experience?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and nervousness.

It sounds like this one might be low in the active ingredient.
