Has anyone used Zyban to stop smoking and can share their experience?

I’m taking it right now (under the name of Wellbutrin-it’s the same drug) and I have to say it’s going better than I thought. I can say “no” to going outside to smoke a lot easier than I could without the drug. A nice side effect is that it’s also made me quite perky and I’ve been a regular little Donna Reed around the house. I think I’ll stay on the Wellbutrin even after I’m totally over the quitting process.

It worked for awhile for me, but I started up again. Seems like everything works for winters for me, but summertime, sunshine, campfires and beer actually spell have a cigarette, Faye, in code!! I haven’t smoked since Dec 15 and that was with about a month of Champix (chantix), but it is very definitely winter here. Good Luck! I say I’ve quit.

I am very wary and oppossed, for the most part, to any brain altering chemicals in pharmaland.

I underwent a 7 week hypnotherapy course and it worked very well for me.

If you arn’t REALLY ready nothing will matter.

It’s all about re-programming your sub-conscious.

I have heard terrible things about Chantix and that is one I would avoid like the plague.

Good luck! You can do it!

To this day when ever I see the color red, a stop sign, anything my brain immediatley associates the color red with clean air! lol

The course cost me $1045 but, I had already spent that on patches, gum, E-cigarettes….blah, blah, blah.

If drugs don’t do it for you try hypnosis. Make sure you find an AMA certified medical hypnotherapist.

Good luck!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Quitnet (http://forums.quitnet.com/community/talk/) – it is a good support site for quitting smoking. I use the forums there and have been quit for over 4 months now. I went cold turkey this time, but have used nrt’s in the past. I never tried zyban though, you can pose that question on quitnet and I’m sure someone will tell you about it.

i’m on my 4th day and i mistakely took the second tab 3 hours later. is this bad for me?
