Wellbutrin XL and Wellbutrin SR - Could they possibly have opposite effects?
by Daybreaker82, Dec 26, 2007 03:17PM
I have been depresssed for years and only now feel comfortable to finally give something a serious shot as in medication.. It does not make me hyper -- This drug actually makes me a bit sleepy and drowsy so I take it before bed.
I took Bupropion SR 100mg for 3 days and felt instantly happier, less stressed out and brighter about life. My doctor gave me a perscription for severe depression but he wrote it for Wellbutrin XL 150 mg. The past 3 days I have been on the W XL and my mood has worsened to even worse than it was before taking Wellbutrin.
I'm going to try and go back on the SR 100mg now and see if there is a difference..
My question is it possible that once version of the drug makes me more depressed while the other once makes me happier?
Also -- I have been reading about some adverse reactions to these drugs when consuming sugar so I have been eating a few little bits of sweets the past few days because of the holidays. So perhaps I should take that into account?
