In reply to smoking and dopamine depletion, posted by jonh kimble on May 12, 2002, at 17:47:09
> i dont know if tobacco smoking depletes dopamine, but i am suspicious. when i have a cigarette i can feel that dopamine flow, but a few minutes later, im more tired, depressed, and less motivated. also, smoking causes by dexedrin to work less. could this be dopamine drain out? i know i should just quit, but smoking is one of the few things in my life that really make me feel good. that instant reward is so tempting! any tips on quiting would be appreciated too.

the antidepressant Wellbutrin is also marketed under the name "Zyban",
specifically indicated to treat smoking cessation.John
