However, I had an unexpected and unintentional GOOD 'side effect' from the bupropion (perhaps in combination with the naltrexone?). My smoking has decreased radically to 2 or 3 cigarettes per day, without even trying to cut back. I no longer have a 'physical' urge to smoke. I can literally take it or leave it at any given time, without feeling any nicotine withdrawal symptoms. My desire to smoke is now purely psychological, mostly based on my habit of smoking while driving.
I suppose it's no surprise that bupropion is marketed as a smoking-cessation drug under its brand names (Zyban and Wellbutrin).
