> Can anyone tell me the differences? My pdoc rxd plain Bupropion, 75mg to start in the mornings. I get a rush of anxiety by midmorning which slowly abates throughout the day. Would the CR or XL be less stimulating? What are your experiences?
I find standard bupropion much more effective than either the sustained or extended release versions. It's still a long way from the ideal antidepressant as far as I'm concerned, but to the extent it works, the effect for me is much better when I take the standard form three times a day.
I take 450mg/d and I've wondered if taking 75mg six times a day rather than 150mg three times might be even more effective yet. It would be hard for me to adjust to the frequency, but then I have friends with HIV whose med schedule is truly onerous and they manage. I just have to convince myself the effort is worth it.
