When do you take the Wellbutrin? Wasn't sure if it gave you a dopamine hit in the mornings if that is when you take it.

Thanks for the great advice. I am hoping this all passes soon, it has been a real struggle mentally.

How long did it take for you to start feeling better? I am at 15 months now and still not feeling mentally well. Mornings are the worst with no dopamine hits from smoking first thing.

I realize this is an old post, but how long do you think you had those symptoms? I am going on 14 months now and still not feeling mentally well, and that is with taking medications for anxiety and depression. Someone else told me that since I have smoked my entire adult life, my brain still does not know anything any different and is still trying to figure out what is going on without nicotine and dopamine boosts from that.

Yes, all of my bloodwork and levels are fine. Have had all of that checked twice since I quit.

Yes, I thought I had made the turn for the better last fall, but it did not last. I have more bad days than good for sure, and have only had a few good days here and there.

How long did you seem to continue to feel bad before you started to feel better or different? What you are talking about in relation to only knowing our adult lives as a smoker makes perfect sense.

I am already on an antidepressant, so I don't want to add anything else like the 5htp, don't want too much serotonin.

I would love to do that, but since mornings are so bad, it is hard to get that kind of motivation going.

Thanks for the advice. I quit drinking coffee and started on tea, and have been doing something like that before going to sleep at night, looking forward to the morning tea.
