> I would still like to hear from those who have been on both SR and XL and prefer one over the other, and why.
I absolutely hated XL, I'd take it first thing in the morning and felt like it was just kicking in 10-11 that night. It made me irritable, angry all the time at only 150 mg. I took SR years ago, I don't think there was a generic then and I was taking 300 mg all in the morning along with zoloft and buspar. I tried splitting the dose but all in the morning worked better for me. It did make me very angry at first but adding buspar helped quite a bit I think. For me a little bit of anger is not such a bad thing anyway, I usually don't get mad over things that probably should make me mad.
I can't really say that the SR was better because I didn't try it solo, I can say that the XR was too long acting for me.
Anyway,
Rick
