I'm going to see a new doctor tomorrow and plan on asking her for some help. First of all I want to quit smoking and was going to ask her for Wellbutrin. BUT I read the other thread here on Wellbutrin and see that it can cause irritibility. That is a big problem for me since my current irritibility is another thing I want to talk to her about.

I've been sober for almost 7 months and seem to becoming more and more irritible, not less. I've ALWAYS been an irritible person but this has got to STOP. My kids are having to suffer because I blow up at the drop of a hat.

Soooo....I'm not so sure I want to try Wellbutrin. I do know however, that when I stop smoking It's probably not going to help with the irritibility. What would you do? Has anyone else had this issue come up?

Another thing....I've recently lost 26.5 lbs and I do NOT want to put it back on because of some med.

Help!?
