I was on Lexapro, but it made me gain weight. I am now taking off that weight since starting Wellbutrin (Budeprion). My side effects have been a tiny bit of dizziness when I turn my head left or right, but after the first month it went away. My ears already ring and I haven't noticed it any worse since starting Budeprion.
It is working well for me regarding mood. I am not a smoker, so I don't know how well it helps with the nicotine addiction.

If your symptoms are mild possibly you will like this drug. I had a bad time on it. Chest pain, increased paranoia, and probably the worst panic attack I have ever had. I still dont have medication for my anxiety, but at least I am not on something to make it worse! Just be careful.

I am taking budeprion sr 150 twice a day as well for major depression.
My personal side effects (although of course it varies for everyone)
+Loss of appetite (this is good for me, trying to lose weight)
+Increased energy (again, this is also good for me)
+Better concentration/alertness
+Occasional blurred vision
+Insomnia
Overall, I have had positive results with Wellbutrin. Be sure to take it 6 hours apart and not close to your bedtime as it may cause a loss of sleep.
I have no idea how it works for a smoking cessation, but, it has improved my depression.
