How People Using Wellbutrin Stop Smoking
It is an incontestable fact: that people using Wellbutrin stop smoking with considerably fewer withdrawal symptoms that people trying to quit smoking unaided.
Of course, for people who have previous knowledge of the drug, the very idea of using Wellbutrin as an aid to people considering kicking their smoking habits might seem rather odd on first hearing about it. But as it actually turns out, a considerable number of the increasingly popular pills meant to help people kick their smoking habits are actually Wellbutrin tablets, Wellbutrin itself being a brand name for Bupronion Hydrochloride, which has for many years been used as an anti-depressant treatment for many years, with a remarkable degree of success.
Of course, the fact that what they are actually using is a psychiatric anti-depressant medication may be off-putting to some of the people looking to kick their smoking habits, and it is therefore no wonder that you will hardly ever find any anti-smoking pill explicitly labeled Wellbutrin: as they typically come in all manner of other more exciting names, while in reality their formulation is still the exact formulation used in making Wellbutrin for psychiatric treatment.
So how do people using Wellbutrin stop smoking with considerable ease?
To answer this question, it is important to first understand what it is that makes quitting smoking so hard. And the answer to this second question is obvious to anyone who has ever attempted to quit smoking: that the considerable withdrawal symptoms one experiences whenever they try to quit smoking is the main reason many people are unable to kick this unhealthy habit, in spite of a sincere desire on their part to do away with it.
And getting deeper into the side effects that people experience whenever they attempt to quit smoking it turns out that it is the depression and mood problems they experience which tend to force them back onto the habit, if only ‘to restore their sanity’ as they normally put it. Smoking is, after all, one of those behaviors psychiatrists refer to as ‘reward-seeking’ behaviors, behaviors whose engagement in causes pleasant (and addictive) changes in brain biochemistry, especially with regard to brain chemicals called Dopamine and Norepinephrine. So when a smoker attempts to stop smoking – meaning that that brain is denied the opportunity to experience the pleasant changes in dopamine and norepinephrine – it ‘throws a tantrum’ which manifests as the depressive symptoms. So what Wellbutrin does it to provide the smoking quitter with some resemblance of the ‘high’ it gets from the pleasant changes in dopamine and norepinephrine whenever he or she smokes (at least for a short time after quitting smoking) thus giving the smoker a soft biochemical landing immediately after quitting smoking, with the intake of Wellbutrin itself being gradually tapered off, so that at the end of it all, the former smoker is both free from their smoking habit and Wellbutrin usage.
