A member asked:
Is wellbutrin (bupropion) and wellbutrin (bupropion) sr different enough for one to work better than the other? i was on the regular and it worked good and recently switched.

In small ways: The sustained release form wil lower bloodstream peaks and raise trough. The smaller variations in concentration are more likely to reduce side effects (if you have any) than change the overall primary effect as the latter arises from long-term presence of the med.
