This is real vague, but I found it on www.wellbutrin-xl.com which is the official wellbutrin website by glaxo.
Getting relief
As with other antidepressants, it takes time for WELLBUTRIN XL to work. Individual responses may vary. Although you may start to feel better within a couple of weeks, the full antidepressant effect may not be seen for several weeks. It is important to be patient and give the medicine a chance to work. Always take WELLBUTRIN XL exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
I guess a "couple" is 2? I guess "several" is 3 or more?
