The doctor is sugesting I try wellbutrin. I am very sensitive to meds and usually stay low dose for a good while. Is wellbutrin effective, taken once daily, in the SR form. I mean, taken once daily will its action be long enough to last the day, or is it absolutely necessary to dose twice a day.
Thank Linkadge

I am taking 150mg SR first thing in the morning and both of us doing just fine :) It does seem to last long enough for me. I had taken Wellbutrin years ago but was taken off as the doc *thought* I was having an allergic reaction. Might have been transient or dose related as I am fine now.
The only thing I've noticed about Wellby is that it seems to be a bit of an "energizing" drug. It kind of wakes me up in the morning--basically I don't need any caffeine to get going. I consider that to be a bonus, actually.
So for me, it's a GODSEND...no major side effects and since taking it, I almost forget that I'm on meds (a sure fire sign for me that they're working ;)
Let me know,
Karen

For once a day I would take the new 150 XL, not SR. Doctors only prescribed SR once a day beacause at the time there was not a once daily formula available.

I don't think the XL version is available in canada, I could be wrong, but not sure how to find out.

Call Glaxo 919-483-2100 and ask them, they're very nice and informative. I've called and talked to their pharmacists several times.
