To begin, I am a 28 year old female, 5'3, 114lbs. I was prescribed Wellbutrin XL 150mg to help quit smoking for a week, then upped the dose to 300mg. My doctor initially told me to quit smoking completely after four days on the drug. (I've been on average a half a pack a day smoker for 15 years.) Needless to say, four days into it I still loved my cigarettes. It wasn't until I had taken a few of the 300mg pill that I realized my first cigarette of the day made me nauseous. Shortly after that I realized that cigarettes didn't taste very appealing anymore. And then shortly after THAT I realized that I was smoking more on habit than an actual addiction. So without realizing it I quit exactly two weeks after I started taking Wellbutrin. This is day two of not smoking. The cravings are but easier to deal with than the times I tried to quit cold turkey. I've even looked at my e-cigarette a couple times but thought, "meh. I'm good." And left it alone. As for side effects, the first time I took it I felt like I was on speed for a couple hours. Not shaky or hyper, but amped up and full of electric energy. That hasn't happened again since. The only consistent side-effect I have is very vivid dreams and waking up multiple times at night. While it's annoying, it's not that bad because the Wellbutrin gives me plenty of energy to get through the day.

the most effective way to stop smoking immediately is the Acushot smoking injection. You can see on preventivemed.us
Be very careful when taking wellbutrin. I quit cold turkey but had a friend that used wellbutrin. He started to change he became very very aggressive and delusional at one time. His wife took him off wellbutrin he returned to his happy self. It was frightening.
This is a well known side effect of the drug.
I was a 30 year smoker that had tried to quit several times with several methods. Patches, acupuncture vaping they all don't work until you really get mad at ciggerettes and stay mad at them for ruling your life.
Now its been 10 years smoke free!
just stay mad at them because the cravings are always there.
I did not think it would stop the smoking and if it did that would be the icing on the cake.
I woke up yesterday and had no desire to smoke. My mouth had a metallic taste to it. About 2 pm I lit a cig....not cuz I craved it but cuz I wanted to see what it would taste like. It was nasty. I guess that is it for smoking
