Stop Smoking Pill

Wellbutrin (Bupropion) dampens nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms related to smoking (cold shivers etc.).

Here are the details of a study conducted into Wellbutrin's (Bupropion's) effect on nicotine withdrawal: After a seven week course of treatment, 27% of those who received Wellbutrin (Bupropion) reported that an urge to smoke was an issue, this is compared to a huge 56% of those who received the placebo pill.

In the same study, 21% of the Wellbutrin (Bupropion) group said they had mild mood swings, versus 32% of the placebo group. The bupropion treatment course lasts for seven to twelve weeks depending on the severity of you addiction.

The longer you've smoked and your naturally tendency towards addictive substances can affect treatment time. You would halt the use of tobacco about ten days into the course.

Wellbutrin (Bupropion) doubles the chance of quitting smoking successfully after three months. One year after the treatment, the odds of still not smoking are 1.5 times higher in the Wellbutrin (bupropion) group than in the placebo group.

Bupropion also slows the weight gain that often occurs in the first weeks after quitting smoking - after seven weeks, the placebo group had an average 2.7 kg increase in weight, compared to just 1.5 kg for the Welbutrin (bupropion) group.
