Anyone had luck in quitting smoking taking wellbutrin?

Question

I started taking it and was wondering how it effected you and if you DID quit smoking or a least cut WAYYYY back! Thanks!

Answer 1

yea it helps i took it help me stop but it's on your mind to smoke

Answer 2

Yes, I quit two times with it. It took about two weeks after I started taking it before I lost all interest in smoking. However, notice how I said 'two times'--shortly after I stopped taking the zyban (wellbutrin) I started smoking again. I have now decided that for me to quit while using a crutch of sorts will not work, so I have quit cold turkey this time, and it has been over six weeks now. That is just the way that it is for me. I hope that it works well for you. Good luck!

Answer 3

Wellbutrin has helped many people quit. Many other people fail. Wellbutrin just helps you be less nuts during the process.

If you think cutting WAYYYY back is almost as good as quitting, then I predict that you will not have any luck. Wellbutrin will not quit for you. It still takes serious personal commitment.

Answer 4

My brother used it to quit smoking and it is just over a year for him now. He said that it helped with all the crankiness and irritability that comes with the cravings. He actually said the cravings were very minimal compared to when he quit smoking previously going cold turkey. I think he has given up smoking completely this time and I think the Wellbutrin/Zyban has helped with that. He was motivated to quit which also helped him I think. Wellbutrin/Zyban is an aid to help you quit smoking so why not use it if you can.

Answer 5

Luck is not a factor in quitting smoking. If you need to pay for drugs to quit smoking, you have no willpower. If you want to quit smoking, just quit. If you aren't able to quit, it's obvious you didn't really want to, because you always have free choice in the matter. Always.

cut back 3 day 1
