take wellbutrin to quit smoking, it works (Prozac, pain, chantix)

took wellbutrin and quit in 4 days from side effects. kept on with the pills for three months and have never smoked since. they really worked and you can smoke as long as you have to with them. don't be afraid.

It is typically utilized as an atypical antidepressant. The ability to aid in smoking cessation is due to it acting as a nicotinic antagonist. However, it is a prescription medication.

I have lots of paitents who have had great success with Chantix - also rx but seems to work wonders! some folks have side effects from wellbutrin such as nightmares and general pain and aches - on the plus side, wellbutrin can also improve weightloss and decrease appetite in some folks - Chantix is another great option for those wanting to kick the habbit

Well, let me trade in my Prozac for Wellbutrin......last time I took it I lost a lot of weight, now I'm 50 and I think my body sees it as just another bunch of calories to turn to fat.....

Mimosa, thanks for the words of encouragement - I am trying SO hard to work up the nerve to quit!

I loved smoking, I am now a young 60 and was petrified i would stop breathing one day. all i did was huff and puff so my md had me try the wellbutrin. it made the cigs taste awful. i quit in one week and gave away 4 acartons of cigs. It's 15 mos and i would never go back. i can breath!!!
