April,
I was taking Wellbutrin SR, but the last time I went to the doc he accidentally made out the precription for XL. I thought what the hell, I'll just go ahead and try the XL. It's been three weeks I haven't noticed any difference. Maybe its a little smoother, but I'm not sure. One definite difference is the higher price of the XL, since it doesnt come in generic form. I drink a 16 oz. cup of mexican organic coffee most mornings. More than that and I get a little wired. I've drank beer on it as well, no obvious ill effects but I'm sure doing both puts more stress on the liver...I take a variety of vitimins to help counteract.best ~ J
