bupropion for stop smoking

JUST STARTED TO TAKE BUPROPION SR 150MG TO STOP SMOKING AND IT HAS MADE ME FEEL DIZZY ALL DAY. WILL THIS GO AWAY THE MORE I TAKE IT? OR WILL I FEEL LIKE THIS EVERYDAY?

Bupropion is the generic name for Wellbutrin. Years ago it had some success and I even know a few who quit using it. I would imagine, because it is also an antidepressant it might cause dizziness. It may take a few days to adjust and if it persists I would talk to your doctor. Good luck on your quit and if you need any support, we are here for you.

Hello, Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion) are the only two non-nicotine medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for smoking cessation; both are available in pill form and only by prescription.

You can try that and they are very cheap in some pharmacy's.

ve pretty much always had a social phobia since i was a child, due in large part, from what i believe, for being ridiculed for most of my childhood for being over weight; which probably does some psychological damage to an 8 year old. I've tried a couple different psychologists over the years, but they never seemed to really help, so i'm deciding to do something with my life, and go on some anxiety meds.

Wellbutrin is the version of bupropion often prescribed and intended to treat depression, while Zyban is used for smoking cessation. (Though some Docs prescribe Wellbutrin to help stop smoking too..)" Actually...zyban is wellbutrin...but in a smaller dosage, wellbutrin is for depression & they discovered it supposedly had an effect on addictive tendencies. I can't take wellbutrin, it gives me panic attacks....sigh.... I do take zoloft for depression...and no..

t know if I should start taking this drug if it is dangerous for me when combining pot and bupropion.

At least one brand of bupropion (Zyban) is used to help people stop smoking by reducing cravings and other withdrawal effects.

Other medical/psychiatric conditions I have are hypothyroidism and bi-polar disorder/depression for which I take levothyroxine (Synthroid), divalproex (Depakote) and bupropion (Welbutrin).

I have never used wellbutrin for weight loss, but I was given a script for it once to help stop smoking. I took it for about 3 months; it didn't help me stop smoking, nor did it help me lose weight. You would need to talk to your doctor about getting off it safely.

Why is my 'shrink' trying to treat my Adult ADD with Bubropion HCL SR (100mg tab 2X a day)? Is this the right med for me? Good grief...it didn't even cut out my smoking. Both of my adult children are on Adderall and are doing fine. My doc keeps telling me that Concerta & Adderall are 'too addictive' ... what the heck ... I am not looking to get high or anything ... I just want to be able to have a med to make my ADD manageable.

I started smoking 15 years ago in highschool when I was untreated for ADD, but then my addiction to cigarettes got completely out of hand after I left home - and Ive always felt like I could only focus my best when smoking or if I had a lit cigarette in hand - which more or less resulted in me constantly chain smoking. Even after I started treatment for ADD, Im still totally addicted to cigarettes.

Do doctors stop Wellbutrin due to joint pain? I have been on this medication for 5 days & started to have joint pain and tremors today. Will these side affects go away? the medication has been helping but am having this joint pain/muscle pain and tremors.

I'm currently on 300 bupropion/100 topamax for migraines. I don't like the bupropion as much as Zoloft but had to stop it bc I ate so much on the Zoloft. Is there anything someone could recommend to make me loose weight along with taking Zoloft?

She's here for support not so people can make her feel bad. It might get harder. It takes 3 days for the nicotine to leave your system and 3 weeks to create the new habit of not smoking. To me that was the hardest part. What do you do when you would normally smoke lol! That's what they told my hubby in his quit smoking class that the military gives.
