Indeed, exactly as Zyban and Wellbutrin. Identical and marketed for different purposes.

> > Is there any difference between Prozac and Sarafem? Some posts suggest so; others say there is not. My doctor seemed to think it was the same thing in a different color casing. If there are different ingredients what are they? I will say that my last round of Prozac was ineffective, but this course of Sarafem has been great.
