I have been on Budeprion for about 5 weeks. I was prescribed it to help me quit smoking. The first 2 weeks I was smoking the same amount. About 3 weeks into it I started smoking less. Then all of a sudden, I just quit. Today has been 3 weeks without cigerarettes and I feel great.
However....I have been dealing with major nausea almost every day of my life for the past 5 weeks. And I only take one pill in the morning. For whatever reason, late in the afternoon til the evening the nausea hits. Some days are worse than others. Most days it causes me to have dry heaving. I have never thrown up, but I feel like at any minute I could. Eating doesn't help. But I am not going to stop taking it because of it. I seriously feel the positives of this drug out way the negatives. I just think of the nausea as a reminder of how smoking has messed up my life. My only worry is what will happen once I go off the drug. I am praying that my will power to not smoke will keep me off cigarettes.
