Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.

Bupropion is good, potent anti depressant drug which is also useful in reducing the craving of nicotine. Routine dose of it is between 150 mg to 300 mg.

But you must consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management as your symptoms might just because of withdrawal and not of depression.

SO you should not feel embarrassment to go to doctor.

Thanks.
