595141 tn?1239971814 When I quit smoking with Chantix, I quit on a whim. I wasn't really *ready* to quit, but I was willing to try anything at that point because nothing else had worked. What motivated me to go to the doctor was my husband. I started a small business and I was really excited about it. I told my husband, "I can't wait to see the growth of my business after five years... ten years." My husband said, "The way you smoke, you better hope you're still alive.
Avatar m tn ) Most addictions are addictions of the dopamine system in the brain so it could probably help if you want to quit weed as wellbutrin is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. And norepinephrine. They give it to people to help quit cigarettes and cocaine as these really deplete your brain of dopamine. weed is a bit more complex but it might help with cravings if you get cravings to get high ( as cravings probably stem from a dopamine i.e.
Avatar f tn The zyban of bupropin is to help stop smoking by reducing carvings. It takes a good month to 6 weeks for it to kick in. Wellbutrin is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It has potential to make you happy etc. It is unlikely to make you gain weight or affect your libido.
Cat I have been taking one 150 mg of bupropion for a few months now and I went for a UA and failed with like a 66% of THC in my urine is this a normal amount ?
Avatar f tn It is also used to stop smoking. I quit smoking its very hard. My logic says if this drug aka wellbutrin can help with that habit it aught to be really good against hydrocodone.

All we can give you is our own highly personal experiences with each of these meds, and know that we ALL react to medications differently. Paxil is an SSRI antidepressant.
Avatar n tn My husband has tried to quit so many times, One Step at a Time filters, Nicorette, Smoke Enders, Bupropion, Welbutrin, etc. He is the sweetest person until he tries to quit, and then he starts having anxiety attacks. I really feel that the smoking is aggravating this allergy situation. I put in expensive air purifier filters that were custom made for our heating/ aircondtioning system. I had an air purifier too but that didn't seem to help.
1541754 tn?1294331420 There may be other solutions if you cant give up smoking, like so many of us have been unable to, it doesnt mean you dont deserve medical care just because you smoke! I myself have mostly given up on trying to quit smoking, so I just try to plan my life around it and make any changes to other treatments as needed. Talk to your Doctors to see what they suggest besides quitting smoking.
Avatar f tn I'm going to be perscribed Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) for ADHD and depression. I smoke pot averagely every day, and I don't know if I should start taking this drug if it is dangerous for me when combining pot and bupropion. I am 17 and 130 lbs if that would help for anything and am taking a dosage of 150 mg of bupropion.
Avatar f tn My husband has been taking Bupropion HSL SR 150mg for a few months and it doesn't seem to be working as well as the Bupropion XL 150mg he was taking for a few years before he was switched because, the pharmacy said, they could not get the Bupropion XL 150mg at that time. My husband has dementia. He takes the Bupropion in the morning along with his Aricept and Exforge (for blood pressure). He gets drowsy right after taking his pills and I think it may be the Bupropion HSL SR causing this.
Avatar f tn When I did, I was informed that the radiologist never returned the call and that my gyno was going on vacation so he was passing on my report to another doctor to take a look. His secretary phoned me to say I would have to wait again until the end of this week for my gyno to come back. This is making me crazy. I can't sleep, and I'm losing my mind.
1342640 tn?1276181928 I think they are trying every way to keep one from smoking, and that's good. I know of no issues with smoking while on the medications, but I do know the long term effects of smoking and they're not good. But one thing at a time. Caffeine makes anxiety worse because it is a stimulant, so maybe this should be the first thing you work on giving up. Not all therapists are good, and you need to find another one that can address your particular issue.
Avatar m tn doc suggested going off of bupropion and switch to paxil. It has been 11 days. still taking the bupropion 150 and lamictal 100 but have had to start taking a lot more klonopin because to the rise in anxiety and I don't like taking this.
Avatar f tn But pot heads seem a lot happier than we do xD Now that I am down to less than it says on the bottle, I want to quit smoking too but I am a habit smoker. The hardest to quit. I usually have a smoke in my hand that I don't remember lighting. And I feel "ghost" cigarettes in my hand when I am not smoking.. I double check my hand before I put it under blankets and stuff. It is like when someone loses a limb and they still feel it.
Avatar f tn 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. Chantix received FDA approval in 2006; Zyban was approved in 1997. These drugs can be effective tools, but users need to be aware of some potentially serious side effects. You can try that and they are very cheap in some pharmacy's.
Avatar f tn The patches will save you about $100 worth of supplies in most cases. These programs recognize that many people who want to quit smoking often times can not afford nor sustain the supply of NRTs required. The general effect of free nicotine patches is that participation in stop smoking programs spikes. Short term smoking relapse rates significantly fall as participants are engaged in three to six weeks cessation programs.
Avatar f tn I am now taking half a pill of Citalopram in order to wean myself off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Bupropion HCL (take twice a day). He says that should help with weight loss. Has anyone had good experiences with Bupropion? Did you gain weight on Citalopram? Thanks!!!
Avatar f tn I was able to quit cold turkey. I've been smoking for awhile so I was definitely addicted to it but once I found out I was pregnant I stopped. I'm 25 weeks now and I still crave but I won't touch a cig while pregnant but if I do deside to smoke again after I give birth I won't do it again round my child either. Second hand smoke is worse than first hand smoking.
