Hi, 1is2Many;
Wellbutrin is not a mood stabilizer. It's an antidepressant. Using an antidepressant alone, with bipolar disorder, *can* bring on a manic state. I hope you are on another mood stabilizer too!
It is used often to help quit smoking. But, it can cause aggitation. It caused panic attacks with me. I tolerated them because it did help me quit smoking.
I've never heard of it being used to treat alcoholism. Perhaps others have?
Good luck with your quit. We have a nicotine forum here on SR too! I hope you'll join us there.
Oh, and I replied to this thread, rather than the other one, because 1) there was a context on this one with the bipolar and the alcoholism and 2) the other one was well over a year old!
Hope you don't mind!
Shalom!
