wellbutrin Today, I got a little overconfident, and decided I didn’t need my Wellbutrin anymore. So I didn’t take it this morning, and wanted to see how I would do without it.

About three hours after I would have taken it, I had major cravings like I had in the first week. Not nearly as strong, but stubborn. They would just not go away, and I could not ignore them. My cravings lately have been short and sharp. These were different.

Since I have been quit so long, I didn’t fantasize about smoking while going through the cravings. It didn’t take me very long to analyze the situation, and determine it was stopping the medication that caused it. Since I was busy with some customers this morning, I could not get away until lunch. Every time I thought of a cigarette, I kicked the thought out of my head right away.

After I came home and took the pill at lunch, the cravings died out pretty fast, and did not come back. So i have learned I am not yet ready to stop the medication.

In the past, I would have started smoking again instead of taking the medicine. I have really become a non-smoker now. I really didn’t want to smoke. I just craved.

No matter what – you do not have to give in to cravings. Stay strong and don’t smoke. It will always get better.
