Hi! Congrats on your first five pounds... feels nice even for a pessimist, no?

I don't have an answer to your question: no experience or expert opinion, but I did want to let you know that there are two forums here you might want to browse through. The Kick Nicotine Club and Addiction and Depression. Both should have good info and folks who've been where you are. Quitting smoking is definitely a tough one.

You can also do a search on Wellbutrin by clicking on the "Search" icon. I think there are several posts that may give you some info from people who may not happen upon this thread.

Hope you keep losing and are able to kick that nicotine habit! Better health here you come!
