Hi Nikki.
I had no trouble getting Buproprion (Wellbutrin) (which has been available in the UK as Zyban for 9 months) for off-label use, but I was seeing a specialist pharmacologist at the time. I didn't get any funny looks in the pharmacy because they assumed it was for smoking.
I'm not sure how comfortable UK docs are with prescribing off-label, but you could easily tell yr GP that you want to give up smoking....
Wellbutrin didn't have any AD properties for me but definitely counteracted Prozac lethargy.
