XL means extended release. The tablet releases medicine over time. Swallow it whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew it, since this can release the medicine too quickly and raise the risk of side effects, including seizures.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether this treatment and dose are appropriate after reviewing your health history. Tell them about any history of seizures, eating disorders, heavy alcohol use, or kidney or liver problems. These details may affect your treatment options.
Do not take extra tablets to try to feel better sooner. Any dose change must come from your prescribing physician. Also check that no other medicine you take contains bupropion.
