    Wellbutrin/Zyban/bupropion is FDA approved for smoking cessation. I was prescribed it for depression and found it helpful for that. At the same time, I was smoking and didn’t know that it worked for smoking cessation. Shortly after starting it, I noticed that cigarettes no longer gave that calm feeling and tasted extra disgusting. I eventually stopped smoking because it wasn’t enjoyable anymore and seemed pointless.

    Bonus: it can make orgasms insanely intense

      Opposite effect for me. Wellbutrin dulled sex and I swear it did something to my ears. They started tickling when I was on it and literally a decade later I still feel it. Maybe just in my head but it put me off.

      Still addicted to nicotine too
