Wellbutrin Xl Question

I started on bupropion xl 300 (brand zydus) on sept 14th this year for depression. It helped gradually over the month and by one month in I was feeling alot better. I went to pick up my refill and didnt notice until I got home that they gave me a different brand. It was bupropion xl 300 (brand actavis). While taking this new brand I seemed to gradually be getting my depression feelings back. I then found direct success and my doctor sent in a prescription for the brand name wellbutrin xl 300. I took it only 3 days but it was almost like I was not taking anything. I had all my symptoms back! Should I continue on the brand name because everyone says it's the best or go back to the one that worked? I am so confused as to why the brand name wellbutrin works so well for everyone but me.

Forgot to mention... The wellbutrin I got from direct success says this on the bottle - Manufactured for: Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America NJ. Made in Canada.

You should take the one that works for you. Regardless of what anyone else says is the best one, we are all different, so what worked for them may not work for you.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, headache, and dry mouth.

Or, if you prefer, you could also speak to your doctor about trying a different medication.

Are you on any other medications?
