I have been taking this drug for about 5 weeks now, and have already noticed a decline in how many cigarettes I smoke per day. You won't "quit overnight" but this drug sure does make the process a lot easier. None of the OTC stuff worked for me, and I have NO willpower. This is the only thing I've found that works in my situation. Good luck if you're quitting! :)

This medication is fine but for some reason my pills smell like vinegar. Even with the lid closed you can get a vinegar smell. The pills were never wet or anything of the sort. The pills are stuck together in the pill case and just difficult to get out. Has anyone else noticed anything similar? I ended up getting a new prescription and went to a new place to fill the prescription. I'm hoping these pills don't smell like vinegar. The smell makes the pill rather unpleasant to take.

After staying on this drug for a few months I could tell a big difference in my mood and so could my family. I have been taking it for 2 years now and see no reason to quit taking. I am very thankful my doctor prescibed for me.

I started taking Budeprion SR 150mg tablets (two tablets one in am one at noon) over two years ago, it had worked well. But for the last 8-12 weeks I have had the shakes – jitters. I’m wondering if maybe the Budeprion might be to strong a dose now. Doctor said no? But shakes and jitters are a real problem.

I take this med. along with Lexapro i just started doing that. I have felt so good. No more mood swings, crying, crawling back in bed, and just acting sorry for my self. This all started with the death of my Grandmother 2 yrs. ago and just cant get past it. Big difference with this med.

I am a much more enjoyable person to be around on this medication. The only thing I noticed is that I have been having trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Though it might not be the med since I have always had sleep problems.
