I have started 150mg Bupropion in tha a.m. for depression and to help quit smoking. Just wondering how long it took to work in other people- a few days, or did it take weeks?
Cheers

Normally it takes about three to four weeks for the medication to work. Everybody reacts differently. It may take more or less time depending on you. I hope it helps you in your efforts to stop smoking.

It normally takes 2-4 weeks for any anti-depressant to start working. It may help the smoking sooner than that, I don't know. Good luck with it. I've been on it for a few years and it's really helped.

I felt a change in the first two weeks with full effect by the end of the third. However, I was using is just for depression, so can't help with the smoking issue.

It typically takes 2 weeks for the effects to be felt. My doctor mentioned that the full benefits arent seen until you're moved up to 300mg. I've been on 300 for over a month and I have to agree.
