Oddly enough, I QUIT smoking when I was taking/abusing Adderall.
Wellbutrin made me want to smoke more because I wasn't feeling the positive effects of smoking and kept chasing the dragon.
I've heard Nortriptyline is effective for quitting smoking, though I did not have this experience myself.
I find it hilarious that for substance abuse, it is considered common for people to go away to rehab for 30 days but the idea of being locked away without cigarettes for a month in a quit smoking program is unheard of.
