One is SLOW RELEASE (SR) and one is EXTENDED RELEASE (XL). The SR needs to be taken twice a day, while the XL requires only once-a-day dosing. My concern is in the release action. Perhaps different ingredients are used to formulate each version. Maybe one ingredient/chemical causes more side effects than the other. So I'm wondering of those formerly on SR who are now on XL found XL better or worse, and why?
