*A total of 22 patients from Study 205 did not receive study medication beyond the initial titration period and a total of 36 patients from Study 208 did not have dosing records for the mean daily dose calculations.  These 56 patients were excluded from the above table.

 

**A total of 1577 patients entered the Continuation Phase beginning at day 56 of Study 208, but these data were not available at the time of submission of the study report on the eight-week trial.  All exposure to bupropion sustained-release in studies 203 and 205 ended after eight weeks.
