What is the Difference between budeprion XL and budeprion SR?

First Answer: im assuming you mean buproprion XL vs buproprion SR (generic wellbutrin) and the difference is mainly buproprion XL is one pill that lasts all day, and is more expensive. Buproprion SR is a 12 hr slow release pill that's effects last for...12 hours. if you take it at 8 am in the morning, you should take your second pill at 8pm if a doctor prescribes wellbutrin for reasons other than depression they may prescribe the SR version once daily and play with the dose a bit to stabilize you, theres more flexibilty with a 2wice daily drug than a once daily drug, but the once daily XL version is more convenient..and expensive. Improvement: You should not assume the person means "bupropion" when they write "budeprion". Budeprion is manufactured by Teva, and bupropion is manufactured by Watson. Many people who have used both medications claim that they have reacted very differently to the two drugs. A pharmacist may tell you that they're the same, they are both generics for Wellbutrin, but they have different absorption rates. This can make a big difference in the effect it has.


What is the difference between budeprion and Adderall?

Budeprion (bupropion XL) is a NDRI (noradrenaline/dopamine/norepinephrine re uptake inhibitor) used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), and occasionally used to treat anxiety or ADD/ADHD. adderall (amphetamine salts), is used to treat ADD/ADHD. the difference between these two drugs is the method of action. budeprion stops the chemical re uptake of dopamine (only slightly), noradrenaline and norepinephrine (neurotransmitters in the brain) solely, and has no effect on the immediate release of them. it also takes quite a while to start having a real effect (3-6 weeks), whereas adderall starts working 30 minutes or so after it is taken. adderall (amphetamine) not only prevents the re uptake of dopamine and norepinephrine (like budeprion), it largely stimulates the immediate release of these neurotransmitters into the synapse(s). therefore, adderall is a much more stimulating chemical used almost exclusively to treat ADD/ADHD, whereas budeprion XL is used largely to treat depression. basically, budeprion is an antidepressant, adderall is a stimulant.
