In reply to Anyone taking Wellbutrin with a PsychoStimulant?, posted by DiscoPuppy on August 5, 2002, at 15:45:12
I've taken dex to augment wellbutrin... Unfortunately, I don't recall how the combo affected my smoking (sorry)...
But I did have the same experience as you in terms of wellbutrin helping to stop/not desire smoking, and dex really significantly increasing the desire to smoke (ie: each drug taken alone).
Perhaps trying wellbutrin w/something to counter the side effects might be an option - like a benzo for the anxiety & irritability?
In any case, I know that in my experience, stims (dex & ritalin) greatly increase nicotine cravings (based on myself for smoking, and a friend who had the same experience w/chewing tobacco)... Sorry I don't have more to offer...
