I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.
Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

I used Wellbutrin about 7 months ago to quit. And was only on it for about a month or two. I have since gone through the death of my best friend for over 30 years, and recently the loss of a beloved pet of 15 years. Neither of these events triggered my urge to smoke again, so there’s at least a testimony to it’s effectiveness.
More on the process:
So I went to my GP and asked for help in quitting, (habit was a pack or more a day for 40 years) was prescribed Wellbutrin and just went with it. I was smoking while on the medication for probably two weeks or so, and then gradually lost the taste for it along with the urge to smoke. It got to the point where I would forget to smoke at times when I normally would, such as- after waking up/eating, etc.
Having dealt with some extreme grief/sorrow/stress/anxiety over the course of this shitshow of a year and still not smoking as a result of it has been one of the very few things I have to be happy about.
Helping someone achieve this and paying it forward would certainly help make it more worthwhile, so I wish you the best of luck in whatever works for you.
Hang in there.
I was put on Welbutrin for depression and it was like a switch turned off for the cravings. I was done in about a week. I didn’t even know it can be used to stop smoking at the time.
Lol, i just posted a comment here. Almost the exact same experience. What’s funny is that even if you do smoke, the effect of nocotine is so dulled while on Welbutrin that you basically get nothing out of it.
