Actually it makes a lot of sense, chemically. Nicotine affects the same neurotransmitters as Wellbutrin. - loosilu Jul 1, 18:59
oh, they were thrilled. Not sure how they found Chantix. might be similar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 18:58 3
- Chantix is a new compound, not related to anti-depressants. -- nm - Tim Jul 1, 19:00 2
  - was it developed specifically for this purpose? -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 19:00 1
    - Looks like they were mucking around with a product used only in europe for smoking cessation and Chantix was derived from it. -- nm - Tim Jul 1, 19:02
