I was given Zyban (BUPROPION), along with the patch to help me quit smoking. Bupropion is really an anti-depressent, one of the side effects was that peole no longer wanted to smoke like they used to. It's also being used today to treat cocaine addiction.

My doctor said it may affect the way my methadone worked, she had me come in 2 weeks after to check if my dosage was still holding me okay. Unfortuately it's still pending as I haven't started either one  yet..still working on the head space I need to stop smoking. Has anyone else had any experiences with this?

 Here is a link to a pilot study on Methadone and Bupropion:
