WB SR contains sulfer (cysteine HCl)

Interestingly, though, I've smelled the rotton egg smell from the extended release (the cock-eyed smiley-faced purple ones), but I've never smelled that nasty sulfer smell from the immediate release reds or yellows--curious whether Zyban stinks like this as well (they're also SR). This could be because the sustained release tabs containe cysteine hydrochloride, and the immediate release tablets don't. Cysteine is a sulfer containing amino acid.

ps. I read a Rolling Stone interview with Christina Ricci where she pulled out her bottle of Wellbutrin SR during the interview and asked the interviewer to smell the pills. She made some comment about how awful they smelled. So, they stink even for movie stars, so that's comforting in a really sick way, I guess.
