Hi,
I was on 200mgm of Wellbutrin SR twice a day when the XL hit the market. I ask my psychiatrist about switching, and he said that he never felt too good about XR meds, because there are so many metabolic and other factors in each individual.
Also, a week does not seem like much time for an AD to be tested. Even for Wellbutrin which has some fairly immediate effects. I have been on just about every type of AD out there and I pretty much have come to the conclusion that one should give any of them three weeks to six weeks MINIUM before making any decisions. Just my opinion


> My doc gave me samples of Wellbutrin XL 150mg to try for a week before I see her again after the week is up.

> I'm curious. Besides the slower absorption of the XL version compared to the SR version, is there any difference in the overall effects? I mean, has anyone heard of someone preferring one to the other? Doing well with one but not with the other?

> So far, just day one, seems pretty tame to me.
