I've been on WB (generic) for about 3 weeks to quit smoking which I have. I am taking it at night with Xanax. I didn't know I was having side effects until I started feeling strange. I was dizzy at first, but thought I was just sick. I was also a little headachy. Today I was in the grocery pushing a cart and kept getting shocks in my left hand. I took my hand off the cart and it went away. My major complaint right now is feeling very depressed and hopeless, want to cry but ccan't seem to. Also feeling like I could lose control. If I go off this drug will I start smoking again?

I hope you contact your doctor soon re: this side effect. Although Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant, it can also give some people the side effects you are explaining, even to the point of suicidal thoughts. You probably should discuss this with your Dr. as soon as possible. There are other ways to quit smoking. If I can do it, so can you. And I have been on Wellbutrin for years, and found no effect in helping me to stop when I was ready, but each person is different. Good luck
