"i was on the generic for a while; unfortunately all of them didn&#039;t help. i switched over the the brand name 6 days ago and am experiencing less side effects so far and just feeling better overall.  there is a big difference for me.  i was able to find that the manufacturer has a program where the most you pay is $50 a month. i was lucky, they called my insurance and my copay is zero.  there is definitely something going on with this and i am sure the manufacturer of the brand name is reimbursing the insurance companies somehow.  either way; my opinion : no generic for any wellbutrin."
