"after the first week i felt more cheerful and energetic.  after one month i completely lost my craving for cigarettes. (i was a social smoker, maybe would have five a week.  but when i wanted one the cravings were intense).    however my blood pressure was elevated  157/110. (i am on lisinopril-hctz for that). my sister was sure the bupropion was causing my high blood pressure. after a couple of weeks my smoking cravings came back and my blood pressure was still elevated so i went back on bupropion.  second time around i am super cranky and have a heightened sense of smell, but still crave cigarettes."
