Suggest Dosage Of Wellbutrin XL 150 To Quit Smoking
I just received a prescription for Wellbutrin XL 150 to help me quit smoking. The directions say to take 1 pill for 3 days then 2 pills twice daily. That seems like a lot to me. The total prescription for 30 days is 120 pills. Taking it as directed does not account for 120 pills. How should I take them.

HI
I admire you for positive otlook.
Welbutrin contain bupropion which is use to treat smoking addiction.
Ideally dose that we prefer is like
initially for a week 150 mg once a day then 2nd week onwards 150 mg twice in day.
300 mg is ideal dose to treat smoking addiction.
So it would better to take proper dose to stop smoking.
Thank you.
