New Generic form of Wellbutrin
I went in to get a refill about 2 weeks ago for my wellbutrin, and found that they subbed in a brand new generic which is the only thing my insurance will cover now.
I thought, ok, scary, but all right. I figured it being the generic form, the pill would be the same. And the following things might be coincedence, but I have to wonder..
I ad enough of my actual wellbutrin left that I could take 1 wellbutrin, and 1 generic for the past 2 weeks, helping to ease my body into the generic.
I've gotten acne. I have never, not even as a teen, had a problem with acne, other than the occasional pimple. Now, I wake up each morning with at least 3 visable pimples. They usually go away after I pop em, but new ones pops back somewhere else.
I have been obsessivly washing my face 2-3 times a day now, plus at night, since this started, all with no change.
On top of this, I started getting really itchy... you know, down there. It felt like the onset of a yeast infection, only it never progressed. It just kept remaining itchy. I used my usual dose of anti-itch creams, as well as yeast pills I have always had success with.
The itching started 9 days ago, and is just NOW going away. It's driving me NUTS! My husband usually goes down on me nearly every time we have sex, and I keep having to shove him away because just the thought of it makes me cringe.
So, I guess what I want to know, is if generics can be subtly different than the "designer" drugs, and if you can have a doctor right up a perscription as wellbutrin ONLY, no generic sub-in's, and the insurance will pay it?
It took me 2 years, and 4 different pills to find one that worked for me, and I really would prefer to live without these side effects.
