Maybe talk to your doctor about bupropion (wellbutrin/zyban). It's a unique antidepressant medication that work by inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine (other reuptake inhibitors focus mostly on serotonin or norepinephrine). When testing it, they found that many people stopped smoking, so it's now prescribed for people that want to stop using nicotine. You likey wouldn't be on it for long, just a few months until you get the cravings to stop and readjust your life to no nicotine.

No way, Ive been on the antidepressant merry-go-round before. They were not a pleasant experience for me.
