WellButrin XL question (freaked)

Hi.,

I hate to be a broken record. But, does anyone have any insight on Wellbutrin XL and SR? I seem to be gaining weight on Wellbutrin XL with a ravenous appetitle. I normally don't eat that much and have a fairly speedy metabolism. I feel somewhat better, but it's kind of freaking me out. Saw some posts that suggested SR to be the better choice in Wellbutrin for weight gain.

Any thoughts? I hate to be vain, but I'm thinking of going off (with doctor's ok).

Thanks so much !

I have taken both and seem to be losing weight on the XL, I did notice when I first started taking the Wellbutrin SR that I seemed ravenous, I did the drinking a glass of water first and then if I was still hungry in 20 minutes, I ate.
