Wellbutrin XR is an extended release type of tablet. It's meant to be digested over a longer period of time. So, it looks like you may need to contact your prescribing doctor and get Wellbutrin in a different formulation or change meds or something. Hope this helps. I'm on Wellbutrin XR as well and will have to talk to my doctor about this prior to surgery.

I take an anti-convulsant that is extended release and before the surgery it went all the way through, and I would see it on the other side...tmi.

They switched me to non xr formula. Did they mention changing it once surgery started and have you never seen it go all the way before or only fter surgery?

Hi,

I had to switch the formulation of the Wellbutrin to taking it a couple of times a day.

Contract your psychiatrist right away to get the new formulation and you will be fine with it.

I call the dr. He's switching me to a no. Extended formula and I'll take it 2x a day. He said I should crush it up and eat it with something to cover the taste...this could get very interesting

I take it whole and have no problem with it.

I wouldn't crush it will taste horrible.

Trust me their not that big of a pill to not take whole.

I was on that for a short time I guess 10 years ago and I had the same problem but this was prior to my surgery.
