Answers:
You get the generic, but there's no difference except for the price. When you buy the name brand, you're just paying for all the drug company's media hype. I've taken the generic wellbutrin in the past and had no problems.
As an example, if you achieve name brand Ambien from the pharmacy, it's $135 for 30 tablets. If you get the generic zolpidem, it's $40 for the same 30 tablets.
Also, since you hold the generic, the pills will look different depending on which company makes them. My husband and I both have generic ambien, but he gets his from the VA and I catch mine from a local pharmacy, and they look totally different, but they're the same dose and everything. Source(s): My mom's a pharmacist. We were raised on generics.
That is the generic.
My doctor prescribed me name-brand Wellbutrin today, citing numerous medical studies and forgiving experiences that show generic is not as potent as name-brand.
I'd call and talk to the nurse about getting a prescription for name-brand.
Good luck!
