BUPROPION SUSTAINED-RELEASE (SMOKING DETERRENT) - ORAL

USER REVIEWS

Comment from: Leo 45-54 Transgender less than 1 month Caregiver Published: February 28

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.

Comment from: Zyban 45-54 Female 1 to 6 months Patient Published: April 04

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.

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.

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 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

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 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!

Do NOT take this poison! It is a high-grade amphetamine. Don't let any doctor lie to you about it. I took it 5 years and have been off it 3 years, taken off this poison by a nonAmerican doctor who doesn't buy into the "give-a-pill" theory of medicine. Wellbutrin has changed my brain permanently. I was never angry before. Now I live every day very angry. My life is hell filled with anger. This medication is poison. Please, don't do this to your life and your brain. Run very far. I would give anything not to have taken this poison. I'm very sure my Medicare paid for the mags on my first doctor's Porsche. Eat right and exercise. Do not surrender to the "medicines" Rx companies give you. They don't care what it does to your brain. They only care about their profits. PLEASE, PLEASE take this seriously. Or you will be awakening every morning irrationally filled with hate and anger when you never were before. That's where I'm at now. I don't know when it will end. If ever. My brain chemistry is permanently altered.

I have been a smoker for nearly 50 years. For years I have tried to quit smoking and have tried many different products and meds and none worked. With Zyban, there haven't been any mood swings, the cravings are minimized.
