Was just prescribed Wellbutrin

2 23 217

Has anyone else quit with Wellbutrin? Was it helpful? How long did it take to work? I'm on 150 mg once a day of Wellbutrin XL. My new family doctor just prescribed it to me for depression and to help me quit smoking again. She is also switchinf me from xanax to klonopin which I'm worried wont work as well. Been on .5 mg xanax most days for years, never increased my dose.

I quit 9 years ago, on May 23, 2009, and recently started smoking again in April of 2018 due to being in a really bad spot mentally from an abusive relationship. I never in a million years thought I would ever smoke again. I never craved cigarettes anymore. I had taken up running, ran marathons and ultramarathons, and overall, enjoyed leading a healthy lifestyle. But I was in such a bad spot, that I decided to take the risk of smoking because I was desperate and thought maybe it would help change my brain chemistry somehow. I thought I could just smoke one or a few day but within just a few days, that quickly turned into a pack most days (more than I ever used to smoke before I quit in 2009!). When I was not smoking, I enjoyed hiking, running, playing with my cat, cooking, baking, and reading. I just got into backpacking last summer and want to do longer trips. It's hard to be very active or take overnight trips with non-smokers while being a smoker! I want to have better lung capacity and endurance again.
