Before you switch, try requesting a generic from another Lab. The generic that did not work for my son was from EON labs, the one that does work is from TEVA labs.

For the past seven years, I've taken Wellbutrin SR and have coped reasonably well; however, recently, my Health Plan announced they will only cover generic Wellbutrin. I've tried it twice in the past few weeks and there's absolutely no doubt that I cannot function on it-----have felt 'hung-over'; extremely irritable (quite the joy to live with ....); very emotional/overly sensitive; lethargic, etc etc.
My doctor's suggestion is to maybe switch to Effexor----any advice???
