In reply to wellbutrin to quit smoking, posted by vanessa33 on November 14, 2003, at 15:06:05
Yes, the ingredient in Wellbutrin(bupropion) is marketed also as "Zyban" to quit smoking. My sister had great success quitting smoking taking Wellbutrin 150 2x day and she still remains on the drug because she says she feels better on it. As for me, I am Bipolar II and on Prozac, Depakote, Lamictal and low dose of Wellbutrin (50 mgs. ) I find it to be very stimulating and I'm not so sure that will help you if you are anxious. Everyone is different though. Some doctors prescribe 150 mgs. 2 x day right off the bat which for me sent me into a rageful, aggressive state. It is supposed to work very well to reduce the cravings for cigarettes though just proceed cautiously. Just some thoughts, Good Luck.
