it sounds like you are in the beginning stages of suppressed appetite. (of course everybody is totally different) it depends if you are at your therapeutic dose, too. 2 months is a little early, unless you got it right fast in which case i give you thunderous applause. i wonder if your urge to smoke has anything to do with increased anxiety or fidgetiness ... wellbutrin is activating. i quit smoking while on wellbutrin but it was because it made me nauseous to think about it. don't know if it's that way with others or not. but i do know that in the early months i had to adjust to that feeling of being activated. wellbutrin is also constipating, so if you are trying to lose weight you'll want to keep that in mind specifically if you choose to try those "absorbs the fats and they pass right through you" pills... you could really get clogged up if you aren't careful. (hope that wasn't too blunt.) make sure you drink plenty of water.

p.s. there's an interesting dieting thread on PSB if you want to read there.
