Answer :

I’m taking it right now (under the name of Wellbutrin-it’s the same drug) and I have to say it’s going better than I thought. I can say “no” to going outside to smoke a lot easier than I could without the drug. A nice side effect is that it’s also made me quite perky and I’ve been a regular little Donna Reed around the house. I think I’ll stay on the Wellbutrin even after I’m totally over the quitting process.
