> I take welbutrin xl and have benefits, but wellbutrin sr did nothing. Wellbutrin increases dopamine and norepinephrine. The more wellbutrin I took persay 400 mg I was feeling speeded. We attributed it that i was receiving more benifits of norepinephrine then dopamine.

That's interesting that you reacted well to welbutrin xl but wellbutrin sr did nothing for you. I wonder what could possibly explain that. Does you doctor have any explanation?
