A couple of months ago, I was prescribed Bupropion HCL XL 300 mg. I tried it for a few days and felt more depressed, but I was using cannabis as well, so that probably contributed to it. I have since stopped using in an effort to get over my depression. Last night, I again tried the Bupropion and it made me fall sleep within the next 30 mins. Normally, I can never get to sleep due to my depression, but that's not necessarily the effect I was expecting or looking for from this medication.

Now I'm extremely reluctant to take it during the day because my job is very demanding and I can't afford to be functioning at a low level. I feel sluggish, unmotivated and hollow, if that makes any sense...kind of spacey. I've read a few things about the generic vs. brand name debate, so I'm thinking maybe I should ask my doc for the brand name Wellbutrin XL, but I may be jumping the gun. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through this, and if so, what did you decide to do and with what results?

Thanks a lot for any feedback - this seems like a very helpful community.
