Am I correct in saying, Wellbutrin XR is a 24 hour effect?
SR is 8 hour?
I know with some drugs that are intended to be taken in split doses, clinical trials actually demonstrate there is no significant difference, when the dose is combined into one.
I'm curious as to whether this is the case with Wellbutrin SR, from anybodies experience or knowledge??
Well, it's actually Zyban - same thing.
Just got if off license cause Wellbutrin is not licensed in this country as an AD.
Some suggest the SR is actually more efficacious than XR.
I was non-responsive to serotonergics; they actually made me drowsy.
So, bupropion is reputed to be activating, which it has been so far.
A lot of the other noradrenergics are said to be somewhat sedating - such as nortriptyline.
Then reboxetine - which is said to be less effective than placebo according to clinical trials.
So it makes sense to stick with Wellbutrin for the moment, seems as I started it only a week ago.
Steady state is not reached until the end of week 2 apparently.
ATM I'm taking 2 150mg tablets.
I understand in the old days, it actually went up as high as 600mg total, so there is that possibility.
Taking mirtazapine in combination so, I don't think that should precipitate the reduction of the seizure threshold.
Any info, would be swell.
