Comment:
taking Budeprion SR 150mg 3xs a day...now that I've read these reviews, I can now contribute most of my other health issues to the generic Budeprion. I told my Dr that the original Welbutrin I first took didn't give me any side effects, he curtly brushed it off as "they are exactly the same thing". No they are not! Another issue: does anyone else have decreased kidney function

After 45 days on Budeprion SR, my depression has worsened and my eyesight has remarkably worsened as well. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to ask for a different prescription.

Comment:
I had been taking Wellbutrin successfully for years. Insurance co. wouldn't pay for it any more and I was given Budeprion XL. I have been getting rashes and welts since I changed and I suspect there is something in the Bud. that I am allergic to that was not in Wellbutrin. Has this happened to anyone else?

Comment:
I took Wellbutrin for over ten years with no problems, the Buproprion for a few years with no problems, but this Budeprion gives me huge stomachaches and extreme headaches not unlike altitude sickness, which I have experienced at altitudes above 7,000 ft. I have stopped taking it. (side effects last for nearly 24 hours).
