I'm getting ready to quit smoking and I've been told by many folks that this worked for them. So, now I'm looking at the prescription and wondering, what should I have to worry about here?

I understand this was developed as an anti-depressant and only worked so-so, but it had the remarkable affect of making people quit smoking.

That's well and good, but do I have to worry about any side effects? I'm not prone to depression and pretty upbeat most times. Will I become a bit manic on this?

My Dad is using it successfully (so far) right now. More than that I can't say.

Yay for quitting! I don't have any info. on the medications, but I'm in the process of quitting myself. So far I'm down from a pack a day to about 5-6.

Woot!

Good job Opera!

Basically, I've been told that I'm supposed to take this and smoke at will. At some point, the desire just kind of melts away.

Honestly, it just sounds too easy to be true.

But if it works, maybe I can get this 20-year old gorilla off my back.

My Dad's been smoking for 35+ years, and with it, he's down to one a day, when he has one.

Susie did the Welbutrin thing. Her side effects included tremors, slight dizzyness, inability to concentrate during the first month of taking it.
Those faded after the first month. Your mileage may vary.
If you do not have a seizure disorder then it shouldn't be a big problem. I couldn't take it because of my issues.
