Bupropion Sr 150 Mg Cutting The Pill
UpdatedI have been on Bupropion 150mg XL for years and am now switching to 75mg SR but cutting the 150mg SR pill (MU12) in half per my doctor's directions. Is it safe to cut the pill and take it on a daily basis? The official Mylan site says not to, but that was my doctor's directions. Would like to get other opinions before I start.

Hello, Gary! How are you?
Well, only your doctor can speak to their own rationale, but my best guess would be that since you've already been taking the higher dosage, they don't see much risk of your overdosing by cutting this tablet. Unless you're taking the whole tablet, you won't get the full 150mgs.
The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness.
Have you asked your doctor about their reasoning?
