Hi, Denise. Welcome back. :) Nicotine hijacks the brain's reward/pleasure centers and provides them with continuous stimulation. When you quit, you go into a "reward deficit" which manifests as depression. I've bumped the Rewards, Nicotine, and the Brain thread that explains it in more detail. Make sure you monitor yourself, Denise. Better yet, have a friend monitor you. Wellbutrin does not guarantee you won't experience depression again. I know. I wish you strength and hope in your upcoming quit. Stay close. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 602 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,040 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2287.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 111 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

Hi Denise, I applaud your courage in getting yourself what you need to get back on this journey. I have not experienced depression myself but there was a great thread a loooong while ago called [url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?topic=16818&forum=1]The Big Coverup[/url] that may shed some light or offer some insight. Stay close and I hope that you are excited about the start of your new life :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/5/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 892 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 17,859 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $4014 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 68 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 56
