Generic Wellbutrin SR vs Wellbutrin XL ( Have access to both) Difference? And has which one helps with lbs?

Question

Okay, was prescribed Bupropion HCI (SR) this time around, but I usually take Wellbutrin XL the pharmacist told me they're both taken twice a day, and they're basically the same. But, was just wondering if those who have taken the generic saw any differences, and if there was any weight loss accompanied with SR.

Answer 1

Wellbutrin XL is normally taken once daily and the the SR is taken twice daily. Again the word normally is important. Some patients require additional doses of either due to their medical condition or metabolism.
