I had quit smoking in 2013 after taking Champix. Then foolishly started smoking again in 2020. Unfortunately champix has been discontinued and I decided to give Zyban a try. I've been 5 months smoke free and have no intention of ever touching a cigarette again. I took this medication for two months and quit smoking after day 11. It takes away the pleasure of smoking, similar to how Champix works. I also listened to Allen Carr quit smoking on audible which was a big help. I'd recommend this product if you're serious about quitting smoking.
I have never posted a review before but I felt the need in the hope it may help someone who is struggling. Very recently I fell into a terribly bad clinical depression. Not for the first time. I was so bad that I was going to be hospitalised. My psychiatrist prescribed zyban or bupropion and I cannot believe the difference it has made. On the 9th day of taking 300mg I started to be able to get out of bed. On day 10 I woke up and didn't cry. On day13 I actually laughed for the first time in 8 months. Today is day 14 and I went to the supermarket. This drug is amazing and much better for me than ssri. My side effects have been blurry vision,loss of appetite (I had that anyway)and dry mouth. Hang in there. Baby steps are huge when emerging from MDD. Don't give up. I never thought that I would be like I am after 14 days. I wish you all the best with your recovery.
Took to quot years ago. Worked but fell into severe depression, crying and crying. Had to go off, started cigs again. Very disappointed. Wanted to try Chantix just as it was taken off market. Generic still high priced w insurance. Trying Zyban again while taking antidepressants. Doc will monitor thus time. Must quit due to blood disorder from smoking. Hope we deal w any depression successfully, have to quit.
Zyban saved my life. It was like a miracle. One month on Zyban and a 25-year cigarette addiction is gone, absolutely gone! I caution people that Zyban gave me total insomnia and I had to take a sleep aid while taking the drug. Apart from that, it really really worked with me. I discontinued taking Zyban after 1 month, I didn't see a need for it anymore.
Im also still in the middle of taking them so could be why. But so far its a thumbs down for me i have them to stop smoking and for my depression and ive just have had terrible anger that i did not have before, im sweating everywhere all the time like drenched, blurry vision, dizzy, loss of appetite and way more upset. Actually feel more depressed and everyones noticed now
Yes I quit smoking with Zyban. Zyban also altered my brain and put me into an unbelievable Depression. My wife had to fold up my insurance business and box it up. I was Unable to work for Three Years. I do Not encourage this product to help with smoking. Scott - St. Louis, MO
In1997 I was at my wit's end I was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and also drinking 16 cups of coffee. A mother of two small toddlers I needed help! I couldn't go up my stairs because I was so out of breath. I couldn't go on for walks because I was winded. I had to seek help and try to control my nicotine. I went to see my doctor who had mentioned that there was a product that could help me! We talked about and then he recommended me a drug called zyban. He wrote me a prescription to take and told me to follow them directly. I started the very next day with the first prescription pill. I took it every day while I was still smoking! Yes you keep smoking. What it was doing to me then was reducing the amount of cigarettes that I was smoking each day. I could see a difference in my cut backs within just a week. I was smoke free at the end of that only one prescription. I was so smoker since the age of 16 and I quit when I was 29 years old, so I had chain smoked for 13 years! Thanks zyban because it is now the year of 2020 and I'm still smoke free and I only have one to two cups of coffee a day and I can walk and I can go up and down the stairs thanks you saved my breathing.
I was on Lexapro which worked well but wasn't good for my sex drive. Zyban changed that. I have heaps more energy and sex drive has returned. Not often prescribed due to higher cost.
I had a heart attack, and needed to stop smoking. Using this drug, I had no cravings at all, and I have now been smoke free for 8 years.
Prescribed zyban 15 years ago, and still smoke-free. I still miss a smoke once in a while, but Zyban helped me avoid the nicotine fits.
Tried to stop smoking too many times to count.Was getting fed up with trying. Luckily my doctor prescribed Zyban, and much to my surprise, it actually worked. I’ve been cigarette free for over 12 years now.
I quit 19 years ago when it first came on the market. I walked away from them and never went back. Even within months of quitting I couldn't stand the smell of the damned things.
I followed the diretions and used it for less than a month and i have been smoke free for 17 years.
ive been taling zyban for 7 days now i still feel a bit sick in the mornings. but i can honestly say i dont feel or think about smoking a cig. i am very hopefull this time i will stop for good
I have smoked for 46 years a pack a day, tried to quit so many times. This worked well for me. Its been 50 days , wow! Smoke free. Don't dwell on the side effects they are worth it. Live in NY smokes are $10 a pack saved over $500 in 7 weeks. I still cant believe the cravings are gone! Amazed
Smoked for 30 years. Tried to quit unsuccessfully many times. This worked. It amazed me.
After smoking for 15 years I decided to use this drug to quit. I quit smoking 5 days after starting the regimen. The first 3 days were a little stressful. I had many cravings throughout the days but they weren't intense at all and were gone in a few seconds. I ate a lot of mints and kept busy. After the 3rd day I felt fine even being around other smokers. I had no side effects to the drug and stopped taking it after 7 days and was fine.
I thought I was going crazy, mood swings, insomnia, aggressiveness, anxiety, headaches, made my hot flashes worse, blurred vision, hostility, urinary problems, high blood pressure, ringing of the ears, dry mouth, paranoia, acid reflux, nausea, swollen glands, fatigue, sore throat, stomach pain, joint pain and more
I never write reviews but I thought this deserved one. I was reluctant to take this it treats depression and since I have never been depressed. Finally decided to take it to quit smoking and I had no side effects while taking this whatsoever. I'm on my 4th month. I quit smoking after a week of taking it. I didn't crave cigarettes anymore. It was just the habit that you really have to kick yourself. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to quit smoking. It has been a miracle to me. If you really want to quit smoking - this is definitely the medicine to take!
Horrible side effects!! Dry mouth. Copper mouth. Unable to walk, blistering and nerve damage in feet and hands
