Thank you both for your responses! I appreciate it. Sounds like you agree that taking Welbutrin shouldn't be too much of a giant undertaking? (That's what I'm afraid of - trading tobacco for something that'll interfere with my psychological progress .... which is something I care even more about, I must say.)
Maybe if I try it, I'll know pretty quickly whether it causes panic attacks and I can quit immediately, before quitting becomes a big deal.
I'm scared of panic attacks because way-back-when, before a doctor found zoloft was right for me, someone prescribed me Paxil. Which was DISASTROUS for someone prone to panic attacks! It caused one almost immediately - the worst I'd ever had. And then another the very next day.
So I've been cautious of the "speeding up" type of antidepressants ever since.
I would like to quit smoking, I guess - but not at the expense of my mental health!
