Dopamine suppressing drugs sound like a one way trip to depression.
LOL, knowledge fail.
Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant.
Bupropion is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, it does not suppress dopamine, quite the opposite, it causes dopamine levels to remain higher for longer, thereby preventing the sudden 'flood' of dopamine hitting the synapses that a cigarette, or the thought of one, would cause.
I'm an earlier commenter and an ex smoker and I'm sorry but the advice of take these drugs and smoke as usual is probably one of the worst Ive ever seen.
Based on what, exactly? That you are well informed about the neurology and pharmacology of the issue or, as I suspect, that your knee just jerked through the monitor because someone suggested something that you don't agree with for no other reason than, well, you just don't.
Yes we know that's what your addicted to but the countless 1000's of people who have quit on will power alone will tell you it can be done.
The plural of anecdote is not 'data'.
Countless thousands may have quit with will-power alone, but countless millions have tried and failed because it *is* fucking hard, solely because of the reasons I have already explained. But, hey, good for you for quitting on will-power alone, just don't be *that* guy who harps on about it endlessly and claims that all a smoker has to do is be like you and just . . .stop.
Calm down, smoke another cig and chill out.
LOL , please point me to where Ive been " *that* guy who harps on about it endlessly" I've made one previous comment a few pages back. We're in an off topic section of a forum mate even if I wanted to be that guy , whats it to you.
anyway.
See the thing is about all the medical data, with one expert telling you this and one expert telling you that is at the bottom of it it doesn't really matter.
The ONLY thing you need to do to stop smoking is.... stop smoking.
How difficult it is to do that depends on a myraid of things but at the very bottom of it if you don't put a cigarette in your mouth and light it you've quit smoking.
So many pussys in the world now who need a concoction of pharmaceuticals and somebody whispering sweet advice in their ear to man up and achieve a goal you set yourself. I dont really care if you agree with me or not your opinion doesn't matter to me. I'll continue my smoke free life either way!
