Common Questions and Answers about Smoking cessation wellbutrin
smoking
wellbutrin is not indicated in the cessation of smoking marijuana, but it does increase your chances of seizure if you drink alcohol while taking it. also, smoking, i think it actually either helps with the cessation of anxiety in anxious peoples or adds anxiety on non anxious people so if you are smoking to chill out (just a guess), you might want to try anti-anxiety meds instead.
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..
I know Zyban is another smoking cessation aide but that is another name for the anti-depressent Wellbutrin and an anti-depressent alone in bipolar can often worsen mania. Those are the two that are clinically approved and in standard use. Others are in experimental use.
I was prescribed Wellbutrin (buproprion) for smoking cessation and have been on it for roughly 3 weeks. It is the SR, 150mg in the AM and 150mg in the PM. I have also been on methadone for roughly five years and have been at the same dosage of 25mgs for over a year.
Once starting buproprion (i got the generic), the side affects were pretty bad. I felt like I was on amphetamines.
I started taking Zyban about two months ago for smoking cessation. At first I had very little side effects - in fact, I felt fantastic and ceased smoking within the first week. Three weeks into the treatment, I became emotionally very unstable, crying for no reason, feelings of worthlessness - almost an induced depression with insomnia, very vivid dreams, severe join pains etc. I coped well with those until I went out one night, had a few drinks and a total blackout followed.
It worked like a gem though but I decided to switch because I also want to quit smoking. Will the Wellbutrin side effects go away? What should I do?
If you indeed have a substantial drinking problem, you may need to be safely, medically detoxed before starting on the Wellbutrin. The abrupt cessation of alcohol after heavy use over an extended period of time (several months or more, daily) can be dangerous, even deadly in certain circumstances. Don't mess with it.
If I am not mistaken Wellbutrin was used to treat anxiety long before it became a drug used for smoking cessation. As with any new med give it time to reach a therapeutic level and watch your symptoms. If you feel it isn't working do what you did before...see your dr. Hang in there sooner or later you will hit on the med that is right for you.
Wellbutrin seems to be an antidepressant and for helping with smoking cessation, not for helping people ejaculate sooner when having sex. In your shoes I'd talk to the doctor about its undesired effect on the results of the Viagra, and unless you need it as an antidepressant (or to quit smoking), stop taking it. Give it a while to get out of your system, and see if the Viagra works again.
Hi there...welcome to the forum!
Did I understand that you've already started the Wellbutrin? Are you still on the Paxil as well?
My own personal opinion is that it indeed MAY help you...but a good number of people have a hard time tolerating Wellbutrin for one reason or another. Of COURSE everyone is different, and it may be FINE for you, just something to keep in mind.
It is also a signal that if you do not stop smoking, your lung function will increasingly continue to rapidly deteriorate. That means that smoking cessation is not just the abandonment of a bad habit but a crucial act that will prevent further loss of lung function, reduce the frequency of lung infections, reduce the likelihood of lung (and other) cancers, enhance the quality of your life and extend the length of your life.
What I believe Paxiled meant was that BuSpar hasn't exactly been a stellar success at helping with ANY of the disorders it's prescribed for.
It's "main" function/use is for treatment of depression, but it's efficacy for that disorder is minimal at best and in some circles is gaining a reputation as the "low rent" antidepressant.

How long will my Valium withdrawals last? Will the Wellbutrin tapering effect or delay the Valium wd symptoms?
After I stopped smoking, I experienced slight nausea and lots of fatigue the first week. So it's possible it's part of the withdraw process. But I don't know about the canker sores or the fever.
He should do this with your strong encouragement, with the help of his doctor and prescription of nicotine replacement therapy along with at least one other smoking cessation medicine such as Wellbutrin® (buproprion) or Chantix® (varenicline), counseling and group support, both at home and in his workplace.
This is a critical moment for your father.
What helps the first time can have a reverse effect the next time. I have used Wellbutrin for smoking cessation under the advise of a doctor along with other medicines for my anxiety etc And It did help. But after a while I thought that I could take the medicine again for the same purpose. But I felt suicidal and that is when I did some research on internet that confirmed the side effects. So be careful and do not take medicines on your own.
I have no problem for someone to temporally use Wellbutrin to stop smoking since smoking is so terrible for you health.
If you want to stop without any pharmaceutical Rx you might want to consider Rhodhiola rosea bought from a food supplement store. It will affect your serotonin level and dopamine level as well as having a stimulant adaptogen similar to nicotine.
I really hope you stop smoking.
