Are you sure the combination is Welbutrin and metformin? What you are describing sounds like the combination of bupropion (Welbutrin) and Naltrexone. The two generic medicines are packaged together as Contrave, a branded drug for obesity with no generic. They are much cheaper and readily available as two generic prescriptions. I'm in the same boat as you but with ZebBound. EliLilly makes the starter dose (2.5 mg) accessible but all other doses are unavailable. I suspect their strategy is to get people to have a good first month then go screaming to their employers when they can't continue. I'm transitioning to the Bupropion / Naltrexone combo and while I'd like to stay with ZebBound I would still be happy if it works half as well as ZebBound (at 1/10th the cost!).
