Please Help-Generic Synthroid and Nightmares

So, since I lost my health insurance I have had to buy generic Synthroid online from one of those Canadian Pharmacy things that sends those spam-type emails I was broke and almost out of meds so I took the bait. All has been well with it until I started having some really horrible night terrors. I'm talking NIGHT TERRORS, the kind that leave you paralyzed upon waking up. I didnt know if maybe it was because I went to buy GENERIC synthroid rather than the name brand. is that any different? Please help. This is where I ordered it from, it looks legit, but is it? the stuff: http://canadapharmacyrx.com/generic-synthroid.html

Other info: I recently started taking Wellbutrin to quit smoking. I dont know if maybe this is related?

One of the rare side effects of Wellbutrin is abnormal dreams.  You might want to talk to your doctor about discontinuing it to see if the dreams stop.

Did they ask you for a script?  Typically, legit pharmacies require a script.

The "more information" tab says it's Eltroxin, which is a Synthroid equivalent in many parts of the world.  In another section, it says it's "generic" Synthroid, which is a contradiction in terms.  

Each manufacturer uses different fillers, inactive ingredients in their tablets.  Some of us are sensitive to those.

You're not taking B vitamins, are you?
