Bupropion

Hi Sonny,

Here's my synopsis.

Yes, I've been on it since March 10th, and will stay on it till mid to late summer (July / August). Then I'll talk to my doctor about stopping. I used the meds and patch to stop smoking, then used the meds to stop the patch and now I'm left with the meds (bupropion). My doctor switched from 150mg extended release to 100mg sustained release because I was having trouble sleeping. I would only get 2-4 hours sleep each night. He said the 100mg SR will only be active for 12 hours, so I take it around 9am each morning and it lasts till bedtime. I get better sleep since I switched. As far as the side effects for me there were no bad ones. It did seem to help with the cravings, and doctor seems to think it will help keep me off cigarettes and also help control my weight. Oh, one last thing, it takes a bit of time for it to become effective. You have to be on it for over a week or 2 to notice a difference. Any more questions just ask.
