Question: If so what are they and what are the side affects?
Answers: If so what are they and what are the side affects?
Wellbutrin, wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL (extended release, the best but no generic). I have been on it for 7 years now. Dosing ranging from 100 mg. to 600 mg.
recommended dosage is around 300 mg.'s
I will edit and add side effects, have 2 go watch a movie. It does help ANY cravings or impulses you may have--a wonderful medication! Best I have ever been on! Good Luck!
>>it helps with any compulsive habits. I used to bite my nails and want chocolate all the time, not after I started this medication. I take it for OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder, but on the indications for use it states for quiting smoking, it also helped me to quit drinking, and I lost 30 pounds with it! I went to a size "3", You have no idea how many women want that-lol. after a few years I put some of it back on, but it decrease my appetite. Smoking is actually a "oral fixation" along with the nicotine addiction, if your able I think this Rx will help you.--side effects most experience (unwanted) is rapid heart beat (tacicardic) my friend was rushed to the hospital when her HR went to 160! She went via ambulance, they took her off it immediately, she was fine. This medicine has to be tapered up-and weaned down--no cold turkey w/ the medication. IT has to be GRADUAL always with wellbutrin. It's generic is budeperion and w/ insurance is a $10.00 USD co-pay. It is always worth a try, cigs are going to cause lung cancer sooner or later or the price per pack will bankrupt you, whichever happens first! [smiles]!
Wellbutrin is used for both indications
Welbutrin is a popular choice with positive results. Most don't gain weight with it. Good luck.
Wellbutrin is prescribed for both mild depression and smoking cessation. I know because my step-dad was prescribed it to quit smoking a few years ago. He still smokes so I cannot vouch for it's effectiveness.
yes wacky tobaccy
hey there yes you can go to your doctor and ask him/her if they can start you on some wellbutrin and i am not sure of the side effects but the doctor can talk to you about it i hope i have helped you for iam here as a friend
