A member asked:
Can you half wellbutrin (bupropion) sr pill safely?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Well......: Officially you should not, however the mechanism with which wellbutrin (bupropion) sr provides sustained release would be maintained if it is halved without crushing. This is not the case with wellbutrin (bupropion) xl, it can not be divided.

No: Breaking the pill will disrupt the time-release mechanism.
