Anyone else use bupropion to quit nicotine products?

I took it a couple years ago, and man does it ever work. More than anything I've ever tried. I stopped and "relapsed" (lol) because I kept breaking bones and being some form of disabled. I plan on starting it again tomorrow to quit. To the smokers/nicotine users, how does bupropion help/effect your mood outside of getting nicotine out of your system? I only used it for 3 weeks and dont think I ever got the full therapeutic effect its designed for as an anti-depressant. Which I really need right now, outside of laying off the various brain frying products I use.

6 months post-op labrum tear

Had a SLAP repair done for a "minor" labrum tear on my right side. Putting that in quotations bc it got to the point where it bothered me almost every second of every day. Followed the surgeons instructions to a T. Sling for a month, no overhead/5 lb max weight for another month, slow rehab after, until "fully" cleared after 6 months. That's when I started working out again. For the past month I've slowly worked my way up until getting to 50% of the max weight I used to do.

Three days later after I did that ONE 50% effort lift and I wake up with it being a bit painful and having a pulse. Just now, as I'm typing this, feeling tingling down my arms and up to my fingers (only once though).

Like, there's no way right? Just had an ultrasound down on my LEFT shoulder for a cortisone shot and that guy saw a gap that could very much be a tear.

Also, I know, I already asked my surgeon and I'm waiting on a response. Just curious if anyone has had experience with this.

Edit - Labrum isn't part of the rotator cuff. Just couldn't find a subreddit for it.
