Bupropion Sci

Do they work as well as PAR brand? Any other comments on this brand of Bupropion? ## Do not work as well. And couldn't return them. CVS still uses PAR and CVS policy is to inform before providing different brand. ## PAR Bupropion works better for me, (used 2 years). Get it in CVS by request only. I tried CIPLA for about 4 months, don’t like it at all. Back to PAR. ## Why didn’t they work? What were all your side effects?

What is the difference between XL Bupropion and SR Bupropion ## The XL stands for extended release, while the SR stands for slow release. Both pills are released over a longer period of time, although I'm not sure why two similar variations exist. This is something I have been curious about to with many other pills. But I would assume that the XL and SR Bupropion are manufactured by separate companies and it may help to distinguish between certain brands if needed. This is just my educated guess, but it may have nothing to do with that. If it's really bugging you I can look up the manufacturer(s) if you have the imprint of the pills handy. I would probably suggest contacting the manufacturer's of the pills for more scientific reasoning behind it. Hope this helps!

Thus, you may want to list the generic name and what you're actually looking for, since it seems you aren't talking about considerations th...
