Wellbutrin XL Pill. Is There A Generic Alternative?

Hopefully...I pay $10 for each brand name wellbutrin XL pill. Generic brand does not work for me. I am trying to find out if manufacturer sells same pill under generic label somewhere. Or is there a very similar medication to wellbutrin that is cheaper. Not sure this is an appropriate question for this forum. Would appreciate any advice.

Hi,

Based on the information you are looking for wellbutrin XL pill for 10$ and is looking to have cheap alternative under the generic label but with the same trade name or same drug.

Here is the answer, it impossible to have generic drug with same trade name lable as wellbutrin XL pill, the company that manufacture will only produce it under their own brand name and no cheap alternative is offered by the same company yet.

The cheaper alternative from other companies are available but will have different brand name, and as per your question they don't work on you. Hence you are stuck with paying the royalty of the brand name. I sorry to say so but its a drug company's monopoly in one sense and nothing that we can do.

Hope it helps
Thanks
