I asked my pdoc about the generic thing, and she waved her hand and said, "it's fine." But it seems a lot of people haven't been getting the same results from the TEVA. Apparently it's related to the different release mechanisms--you might either have too much or too little of the drug in your system at any given time.
When I started bupropion, my depression went away but I was *much* more emotionally labile. Teared up at every sappy commercial. This was fine with me--I felt great otherwise, and I'd rather be sad that have that totally empty, meaningless feeling. I wonder if you were getting a similar, just way more intense effect, because the TEVA flooded you with too much at one time.
