The HMOs will tell you that budeprion and Wellbutrin are the same but the bonding agent is not. Thus, if you have been taking the Wellbutrin XL, the Budeprion SR will not release quite the same way. Answer: Well Bupropion is the generic of Welbutrin so the active ingredients are the same just the inactives are different like the bonding agents. The difference between SR and XL is the dose per pill available XL only comes in 300mg and is time released in a 24hr period so you get a constant amount of medicine the entire day from one pill. SR comes in 100mg and 200mg doses and are also time released so your doctor can easily adjust your daily dose by having you take one, two or three pills a day (making sure that they are at least 6 hrs apart form each other)
Yes, bupropion is the generic of wellbutrin, and they are both the xl. exactly the same. I am a pharmacist
budeprion XL is a brand name of medication bupropion XL. Bupropion Hcl is a generic name & active ingredient present in budeprion XL, so both are same.
Bupropion SR (sustained release) and bupropion ER (extended release) are not the same; they differ in their release mechanisms and dosing schedules. Bupropion SR is designed to release the medication over a shorter period, typically requiring twice-daily dosing, while bupropion ER releases the drug more gradually, allowing for once-daily dosing. Both formulations are used to treat depression and assist with smoking cessation, but the choice between them may depend on individual patient needs and preferences. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
yes.
yes
No, bupropion SR (sustained release) is not a narcotic. It is an antidepressant that is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and to help people quit smoking. Bupropion works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, specifically dopamine and norepinephrine, rather than acting as a narcotic, which typically refers to opioid medications that relieve pain and can lead to dependence.
It is generally not recommended to take bupropion SR, nefazodone, and aripiprazole together without close medical supervision. Bupropion can lower the seizure threshold, and combining it with nefazodone, which can also affect serotonin levels, may increase the risk of adverse effects. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to ensure safety when combining medications.
After 600 mg XL, have a fierce headache, centering on my forehead and radiating outwards.
**I am neither a medical doctor nor a pharmacist** but from what I understand Bupropion SA (sustained action) and SR (sustained release) are equivalent. The "SR" designator is more commonly used, but the VA at least uses "SA" (though the label on the generic they dispense indicates "SR"). Burpropion XL and XR (extended release) indicate a different, longer acting formula. I believe it is 12-hour release for the SR vs 24-hour for the XL (could be important distinction for people who find the drug activating/sleep-disprupting).
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.
It is not safe or appropriate to smoke bupropion SR (sustained release) or any medication not intended for that method of consumption. Smoking prescription medications can lead to serious health risks, including respiratory issues and overdose. Bupropion is designed to be taken orally for specific medical conditions, such as depression and smoking cessation. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on medication use.
