Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Wellbutrin SR is a brand name for a medication called Bupropion Hydrochloride, which is used to treat depression. It is different from many other antidepressants because it works in a unique way, not fitting into common categories like tricyclics or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Wellbutrin SR helps balance certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which may play a role in managing mood and behavior.

Wellbutrin SR should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The standard Wellbutrin SR dosage for adults is typically 150 mg taken once daily in the morning. It’s crucial that these tablets are swallowed whole—crushing, dividing, or chewing them can increase the risk of side effects. After three days, if the healthcare provider recommends, the dosage may then be increased to 150 mg twice daily, with doses at least 8 hours apart to minimize the risk of seizures. While Wellbutrin SR can be taken with or without food, consistent use helps maintain an even level of medication in the body.
The active ingredient in Wellbutrin SR is Bupropion.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
The most common side effects of Wellbutrin SR include headache, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, and constipation. Some people may also experience trouble sleeping, sore throat, or an upset stomach. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the medication. If any of these symptoms become severe or do not go away, talk to a healthcare provider.
Wellbutrin SR may increase the risk of seizures, particularly at higher doses or in individuals with certain medical conditions. Some people may also experience mood changes, including agitation, aggression, or suicidal thoughts, especially at the start of treatment. Rare but serious reactions include high blood pressure, visual disturbances, or severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat. If you experience hallucinations, manic episodes, or unusual thoughts or behaviors, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
