Can Wellbutrin Sr Be Taken Once A Day?
(Newest replies first)

Recently I started taking Wellbutrin SR (generic). I'm prescribed 100 mg twice daily. However, I've been taking been taking all 200 mg once a day in the morning. Ultimately, is the SR version still effective if only taken once a day? Why do people usually take it twice a day? Will I experience any disadvantages by taking it all at once? Today is my 8th day on Wellbutrin. I definitely feel SOME improvement.

Yes, this needs to be taken 2 x a day for it to work remotely proper. By not taking it twice a day as prescribed you want never know if it is really having a positive fact on you. If you don't like taking medicine twice a day ask if you could be switched over to the extended release kind of this medication..

It is usually best to take it twice daily, as directed, due to the fact that its efficacy depends on it being maintained at a certain level in your body. Taking them both, at once, does not provide you a full 24 hours of medication.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
