I Took 75 Mg Of Effexor XR For About 11

I took 75 mg of Effexor XR for about 11 years and did well. Cost took over and I was told to take the generic.
I am now taking 300 mg of Venlafaxine XR and another 300 mg of Bupropion (which I had never taken before). I have been out of work for 6 months on short term disability because the depression got worst over time and I could not do my job. (I am -was- a computer programmer and couldn't keep things straight - still can't.) Now I have no job no income and no disability income. My life has turned upside down.
If I went back on Brand Name Effexor XR would that help?
Thank you,

Don N
