SR is short for sustained release. People usually take it twice a day, for instance, 2 x 150 mg/day.
XL is short for xtra long release or something like that. It is even slower releasing and is designed to be taken once a day.
The SR type is now being produced by the generic companies, and their version is called bupropion SR. The XL version, while offering the convenience of once a day dosing, is more of an attempt by GlaxoSmithKline to hold on to some of their Wellbutrin profits IMO. It is possible that the XL version may work better for some people than the SR; although, I have also heard people say the opposite.
