Wellbutrin Program Discontinued At Direct Success Pharmacy (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I've been getting name brand Wellbutrin XL 300 from Direct Success Pharmacy for several years, but I just found out yesterday that the cash program is no longer available as of October 31, 2016. So, I will be forced to switch to the generics again. I have had side effects from three of the generics on the market. I've tried Actavis, Mylan and Par. The best of the worst was probably Actavis so I guess I will try it again. Any advice? I am not eligible for any of the other patient assistance programs for the name brand drug.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Do you mind telling me what website you went to? Or the name/number of the pharmacy?

I just did the same thing - calling Valeant and telling them about the discontinuation of the Direct Success program. They will mail me my $100 copay coupon in 5-7 days. It is NOT the same coupon as online - the representative emphasized this!
This is GREAT news and beats spending $1,300 monthly. I am speechless. I have been forced to take the generic, which I am not loving, so I also ordered the brand name from Canada. So I was going to switch to the Canadian version...but would much rather stick with the U.S. made version that I have been taking for years. The coupon is good for 12 refills.

Does anyone have an update on whether the Valeant coupon mentioned above -$100 for 30 days of Wellbutrin XL- actually works? What if you have private insurance that doesn't cover the brand name?

Hi Dave. I know this is a few months later. I called them to find out about the coupon you mentioned in one of your posts. They claim it's for $200 of savings off the co-pay that I would generally pay and it's the same savings program that they show on their wellbutrinxl.com/savings.

Is this the one you tried? I saw that you wrote that it's a different coupon but it seems to have the same savings information.

Thank you for the help.

Re: Dave (# 41)

Hey all, has anyone figured out what is happening for 2018? Also, just to share, my last two refills jumped from $5 to almost $50. When I called about it, Valeant's program rep said it was because they cover a max price per pill so the increase in price was the difference between the max price and an increased price. I suppose I could have looked for a different pharmacy to see if there was a difference elsewhere (I use the local Target CVS), but I figured I'd been paying $5 all year, so the $50 didn't feel like a crazy amount to pay for my last two refills. The rep couldn't tell me what 2018 would look like. I called back in November --does anyone have more up to date information to share?

I'be been using the savings program for almost a year. I'm on a high dose of 450 mg so I have to get 2 prescriptions - 1 for 300 and the second for 150. I've just exceeded the 12 refills and not sure what to do at this point. Is there a way around this? I re-enrolled in the savings card, but I dont know if that will work once they apply it to my pharmacy account and see that I've already maxed out on a previous card.

Anyone have to deal with this? What did you do?

Thank you for the help

There are several generics that work for a lot of people. I have tried three of them for a few months at a time. I even tried the “best” of the three a second time for several months. They either didn’t work well for me or they had bad side effects. If you try one, just be patient. I read where people on those boards only give them a few days.

Are you able to cross into another state to fill a 90 day prescription? It may be worth trying. And I don’t know if the savings card will allow 90 day refills.

There is another discussion board on this site that has a lot more info. The topic is, “What Is The Best Generic Version Of Wellbutrin Xl - Watson or Anchen?” I have learned so much from that discussion. It’s been going on for years, and Watson is no longer available. I don’t think Anchen is either but comments are current.

Hi - How did you get it to work? When I sign up, it says it must be registered first. I go to Register it online and then by phone..It states has already been used. I tried it with another card; still the same thing..

Re: Cindy (# 45)

I’m in the same situation. I’m so desperate I’m thinking about trying to fill it in Nevada or Oregon but don’t think it’ll work.
What did you end up doing if you don’t mind me asking.
