Wow.... the penny just dropped!
Wellbutrin is the same drug called Zyban in the UK, which is prescribed to people free on the NHS who want to kick smoking. They are given a 2-month course of it.
I tried to give up last year but was told (by the smoking counsellor) because I was taking an AD (Imipramine) I couldn't have it.
But I'm now on Effexor and from reading about it, it seems a combo of the two is okay. I'll have to speak to my doctor about this.... it's almost too good to be true, a combination which might make me feel even better, and give up smoking too?!
Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment if I *do* manage to kick.... :))
Might this be something you could talk to your pdoc about, Deb R? Assuming you're not already taking Wellbutrin....
