Is bupropion as effective as the Wellbutrin brand?

Hello. I would talk with your psychiatric provider regarding this. It seems as if your medication has probably lost its effectiveness from taking it for so long of a time. It looks as if you need to go off of the bupropion and onto another med. Similar situations have happened with me in the past. Good luck and hope this helps.

Hi, puccini!
Probably not since because all bupropion products contain the same amount of active drug as the brand name.
If you've been on this high dose for years my guess is that the medication is "pooping out". This happens commonly when an antidepressant is taken long term and means that the drug is becoming ineffective for you.
Contact your doctor and explain your situation so that you can discuss your options. You may be able to add another medication like Abilify or Rexulti to booster the bupropion but switching to another antidepressant might be what you need to do.
