Whats the difference between adderall and wellbutrin, and can I still smoke?? -
I don-t smoke much, only 3 or 4 cigs a day. Unless I-m out for a big night of drinking, then I might smoke half a pack or more. I just got a prescription for wellbutrin for ADD and I-m wondering if I can keep smoking or will it make me sick? I don-t want to stop smoking yet.I was on adderall a while ago but stopped taking it because I didn-t have health insurance and it was costing me a fortune. I recently moved, got insurance and went to a new doc, but he didn-t want to prescribe me adderall because i just showed up asking for a prescription (which is understandable if this is something people try to sell) But I-m wondering what the differences are and how it will feel versus what I was on before?
thanksWellbutrin is an antidepressant medication where as Adderall is a stimulant medication. It-s not going to make you sick to smoke on either one of these medications. Sometimes Wellbutrin is used to help people stop smoking, not because there is anything about Wellbutrin that makes a cigarette unappealing to those that smoke, but because as an antidepressant, it may or may not help with some of the mood swings and anxiety associated with nicotine withdrawal.
Because Wellbutrin is a non-stimulant medication it has a different way of working, if it works at all in treating ADHD. It also has different, new side effects. You-re also supposed to avoid alcohol while taking antidepressants. Talk to your pharmacist.From experience I know that Wellbutrin ruins the taste of cigarettes.

Adderall is a Class 2 controlled drug. It is a narcotic and has the potential to be habit-forming. Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant, not habit-forming. Wellbutrin also has a variation called ZYBAN, given to people when they do try to quit smoking. You can smoke with either drug.I-ve been on both. Adderall worked much better for me.I don-t know about adderall, but you can smoke when taken Wellbutin, I take two A day and still smoking two packs a day. should help cut back.
