Wellbutrin SR and XL are fundamentally the same medication used for the same purposes. What's different is the pill's composure because SR breaks down and is absorbed more quickly, so you need to take it twice a day. The XL variation is made to be even longer extended release so you only need to take it once a day.

I was recently switched from wellbutrin to budeprion. I find that the generic made me very nauseous and anxious. My body might be having a reaction to the filler used in the pill, or the fact that it is not coated. I will be asking my doctor to switch me back on the name brand. Although many people may claim that the generics are the same, there are differences. Each persons body reacts differently to drugs and if you are finding yourself with problems than there is no reason why you should not request to be allowed to stay on the name brand.

SR means sustained release so a constant consistent dose of the medication will be released over the time that you tool it.
