Glad that more options are now available.
Wonder how it works on nicotine addiction?

when I quit smoking back in 1998, my doc put me on Buspar, which is an anti-depressant, but they found it also reduced nicotine cravings. You took it for a week while still smoking, then stopped smoking and took it for another week.
Day 4 was pure hell, but I made it through, mostly because I was seriously determined to quit.

So very happy you have found effective help.
