I take Lamictal now and PCP wants me to take Wellbutrin to help stop smoking..

I have had a huge difficulty stopping smoking, I can't figure out why I even picked it back up after 6 years, but now I can't seem to stop again. My PCP wants to prescribe Wellbutrin, I already take Lamictal and have several years. I am bi-polar, and it has helped alot with the manic episodes. However I have gone weak when it comes to smoking, so much so that I have never smoked more than 1 pack a day and am now up to 2 packs a day. Have joined a exercise program and working out at home but still can't seem to put the ugly things down, have tried several times but I become ugly in no time. Waiting a call back from my pysch doc for his input, but just wondering how any else weathered through this. I know part is I have too much time on my hands with being laid off from work and difficult finding a new job and my son back in school, so I am home alone all day, only so much cleaning you can do in a day. LOL Any suggestions or advice. I am waiting to hear from my pysch doc before deciding anything. Just curious. Thanx so much. Patricia 9-3-03 RNY 314/159 past goal
