hi everyone,

hope all are well.

My pharmasist who is new to be switched my Premarin to a SR version.

i seem to recall this isn't optimal for wls patients.

any info is appreciated.

Hi Sunny,

As far as I remember, SR meds don't stay in our bellies long enough to work as they are intended to. I'd ask to go back to the non- SR meds. I'm not sure if Premarin is an exception or not. You can call your clinic to confirm.

I still take Wellbutrin, 150mg twice a day, it's continued to work well for me even though it's extended release.
