Hi Ron. I don't know that much about bupropion (same as Wellbutrin) for quitting smoking. I used Chantix and it was great. A few days after starting I didn't really feel like smoking, they didn't taste the same. I had wild and crazy dreams but that didn't bother me.
Go online and check out this med you're on. Use a reputable site like WebMD or Mayo. Hope it works for you.

I took Welbutrin - same med - different name. I did fine. I believe it helped - but, even more of a help was doing the reading to prepare ( a MUST - to know as much as you can about this addiction - read the free course at - http://quitsmokingonline.com/ and Carr's "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" -http://media.wix.com/ugd/74fa87_2010cc5496521431188f905b7234a829.pdf) - and the other thing is this site.
I took the medication for 3 weeks and then my doctor said okay to a change to half the dose. I took that for another 9 weeks.
