I'm at day 176 and I am still using the wellbutrin. I have had no problems taking it. I feel it is a lifesaver for me. It gets my mine off of cigs and tells my brain "you are a non smoker" and "see it's not so bad." Been off the patch since July 5th. The stepping down wasn't so bad at all. At first after you quit it's kind of hard but it get sooo much better. I go days or sometimes whole weekends without thinking about it and when I do think about it - it doesn't stay long. Can even drink without getting urges. I would reccomend wellbutrin/zyband to everyone. I had tried to quit many other times.
