Hi Scott
>Believe it or not, bupropion is also an antagonist at the nicotinic ACh receptor. This might act to diminish the mood-modulating and reward properties of smoking by blocking the effects of nicotine on that receptor and thus reduce the release of dopamine in response to smoking.
I'm very tempted to ask my GP for this drug in sense - as I could really do with some extra help to quit smoking. If it wasn't for the antidepressant properties I think I'd try it...guess i'll have to rely on will power and patches (just can't bring myself to quit though yet lol)
Thanks for that information :-)
Kind regards
Nick
