I've been trying to quit smoking for years, and my doctor prescribed Bupropion ER 150mg. I've heard it can help with nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. Has anyone else used this medication? What was your experience like? Were the side effects manageable? And what should I look out for?

The rash and hives from this medication are no joke. I wouldn't wish those side effects on anyone.

I quit smoking 6 months ago with the help of Bupropion. The side effects were minor compared to the benefit of finally kicking the habit. Worth every up and down.

I had a bad experience with Bupropion. I developed severe skin reactions and had to stop taking it. It was terrifying. I'd recommend anyone taking it to be extremely cautious and monitor for any unusual symptoms.

I'm on my second week and... I'm doing great! The side effects I experience are mild- headache, nausea. Has anyone had any severe side effects?

Just started Bupropion last week and I'm experiencing dizziness and headache. My doctor said it should go away soon. I'm a bit worried about the rare side effects, though. How likely are they really?

This medication was a game changer for me. I noticed a significant reduction in cravings, and the withdrawal symptoms were much easier to handle. The only side effects I had were some vivid dreams and occasional nausea, but it was worth it to finally quit smoking.

I swear, the vivid dreams were the worst part. But I'm smoke-free and that's all that matters. Good luck to everyone on their quitting journey!

Everyones experience might be different, but I found that taking it with food helped with the upset stomach. Just a tip for anyone starting out.
