In reply to Different effects from Wellbutrin XL vs. SR???, posted by blueberry on November 15, 2005, at 17:37:20
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
