Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can taper down the dose of Welbutrin drug gradually before stopping it completely. Take 2 tablets daily for 2 weeks, followed by 1 tablet daily for a week before completely stopping.

A dry cough is commonly associated with smoking cessation which will subside eventually. There is nothing to be worried. You can take any over the counter cough suppressant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
