Has anyone else taken Wellbutrin to stop smoking?

I am on it now, but I have only slowed smoking, not really stopped. I was told to wait up to 4 weeks to really lose the need to smoke.I do like the fact that it has improved my mood!
Answer:
Wellbutrin SR 150 mg. is an antidepressant that is the same drug sold under the name Zyban that is marketed as a smoking cessation drug.They are both the same.
Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant.. hence the mood improvment... I tried it to stop smoking.. I was told to take it for 7 days.. and on the 7th day to stop smoking cold turkey.. didn't work for me...However... I have 2 family members that are trying the new one out %26lt;chantix%26gt; and have BOTH stopped smoking... one was a 50+ yr smoker.
I started taking Wellbutrin than 3 weeks later on Wed, 14 Dec 2005 I finally stop smoking
I had a friend who did. She said it worked.
it will improve your mood because people take it as an anti depressant...but it will take a few weeks for you to see a change in smoking.
