Boy, I think that the difference is simplySimply sleep how they are released into the system. Typically WellbutrinWellbutrin Wellbutrin sr Wellbutrin xl was initially introduced as a pill you take 2 times a day (maybe that was depending on the dose, but I am pretty sure this is the case)...so if someone was on 100 mg of Welbutrin the dose would be 50mg in the morning and 50 mg around 4 pmPremenstrual syndrome Relieving pms. Then they came out with a sustained release tablet only to be taken once a day...yes...that is it!!! Sustained Release. Now if someone challenges that info, I will certainly be open to it, but I am pretty sure this is what it means. You could always phone a pharmacist to be sure. They are very knowledgeable.
Not sure of your exact question regarding weight loss. I do know that sometimes WellbutrinWellbutrin Wellbutrin sr Wellbutrin xl helps in cases where people have cravings and/or addictions (to gambling for example and also nicotine I think)...and I also know that people do not experience the same problems regarding weight loss as they do with the other SSRI anti-depressants such as Zoloft and the like.
Wellbutrin XL is once a day and the Wellbutrin SR is twice a day. I was recently on the XL and I didn't loose any weight, I actually gained some. But thats just me, I have heard it works wonders for some people.
I was so excited about taking Wellbutrin SR for my anxiety and weight loss it worked for my depression but, not for the weight loss. I take one tablet 150mg daily in the am. Please help!!!!!!!!!
