I took Wellbutrin for 2 months to help with the stopping smoking. Had absolutely no effect on me. Nothing. Zip. Cravings still there. Still smoking too. I had much better luck with the nicotine replacement patches. However, just because I didn’t have the greatest experience, it doesn’t mean the drug doesn’t work. (I’ve been told I’m fairly medication resistant, so perhaps I needed a stronger dose. But I wasn’t interested in pursuing it).
