New manufacturer bupropion smell like sulfur is it safe?

I had been taking bupropion for many years before with no problem with sewer smell. Several years ago I started getting my pills from Express Scripts made by Slate Run that smelled like a sewer. I contacted Express scripts and they sent a new batch that smelled the same. I contacted them again and they said they had no other suppliers. I have been taking the sewer pills with no seeming problems except a kind thought about the manufacturers and supplier every day that I take them. Looking on the web I found many explanations for the smell and many people saying it was OK to take. I have read that some people were able to find stink free pills at various pharmacys. I have not found even one explanation as to why some manufacturers seem to be able to make stink free bupropion and some don't seem to be able to even when they are aware of the problem. I have an idea that the people that try to say that the stink is normal are either uninformed or propagating the manufacturers propaganda. It can be stink free, why isn't it?

Its normal. Google wellbutrin odor. Mine smells like, sorry for vulgarity, eggs or someone passing gas. Safe to use. But if you want to make certain ask a doc or pharmacist.

I JUST received the same pills from my Postal Prescription Service. I immediately called the Pharmacist because mine too smelled very strongly of Sulphur and it's a different manufacturer than it has been. He's checking into it as he's not had anyone call about this drug/smell. Until me. I don't plan to take it. And will return it to a local pharmacist if I don't hear back soon. This new manufacturer is Dr.Reddy.

lol yeah my Wellbutrin always smelled bad, kind of like vinegar a little. I wouldn't worry. A lot of pills smell, most people just don't sniff em like we do.

Please call your Pharmacy asap and better yet, bring the medication into the Pharmacy and show them to him or her and ask them to smell what you are smelling. This happened to a friend with a different med and it was bad. Please don't take any chances. Hugs

Hi, Jm! It likely is safe, but you should call your pharmacist and explain the problem to him/her and ask for advice. If you feel uncomfortable with it the pharmacist can refill the script with a different product.
