They still prescribe it here under the name zyban as well, to be used to quit smoking. Insurance will only cover a couple of months for zyban. But change the name on the script to Wellbutrin and you can have it indefinitely. I had wondered if it contributed to a slight heart problem I have now that was discovered while I was on it. I had been complaining of shortness of breath and tiredness and they found something. Maybe there is something to that then.
