"I was a heavy smoker since 13 years ago, 2 and a half packs a day. I am 31 years old. One day, I thought I would never see my 50th birthday, so I decided to quit. At first, I took Zyban for one month, my cigarettes cut down to 10 a day within the first week, but after a week my body resisted. I continued taking Zyban for one month and nothing changed, so I decided to add Chantix to my regimen. After 2 days of taking Chantix 3 mgs per day, I completely quit! Now it's been 3 days I am tobacco-free. The only side effects that I think are from nicotine withdrawal are intense headaches all day long. I just wanted to write this review for those who fail to quit, try combining drugs, especially for Chantix. Some of us may need higher doses to work. There is absolutely no interaction between Zyban and Chantix. This review is mainly for those who couldn't quit using one of the drugs alone. I hope this was helpful."

"My daughter, after two weeks of taking this 'medicine,' spent, on January 3, 2020, a day and a half in the Emergency Room after collapsing at home in an epileptic seizure when she stopped breathing. I do not wish anyone to feel helpless when you hold your limp adult child in your hand, eyes wide, without signs of life, without any movement of the diaphragm, and without heart action when you think this is the end. I would also like to thank all the rescue services that were involved in her rescue at that moment, from the fire brigade to the rapid ambulance. I am sure that without their help and quick action, it would not have worked well! It was necessary to stabilize the heart because the heart rate was extremely fast and critically high. The brain CT then revealed four consecutive seizures, which led the doctor to decide to entrust the daughter to the care of a neurologist in a larger city. Please take this message as a warning against this medicine, Zyban, and its offspring, Wellbutrin."

"Ok. On day 4 of this medication. Started with 150 mg per day for 3 days and now onwards it's 300 mg. First of all, I'm not convinced this drug is worth it. Side effects days 1-3 included blurry vision, feeling spaced out. Today it was bouts of crying and then a burning sensation in the abdomen and chest. I'm smoking 1 pack on this. God only knows."

"I don't understand how Zyban (Wellbutrin) helped anyone stop smoking. I was on Zyban for depression but have since been put on another antidepressant. Once I was on the other antidepressant was when my doctor told me about Zyban. I never noticed any difference in my smoking cravings while on Zyban. Maybe had I been told that Zyban could help with smoking cessation while on it, I may have quit. So far, I still love to smoke."

"After smoking for almost 30 years, I am proud to say I have not smoked in 4 months, thanks to Zyban. I felt strange taking it in the first 10 days, and it made me not want to smoke because I had sort of a physical reaction when I tried to. It was weird, my throat felt like it was closed off, so the cigarettes were no longer enjoyable. I thought I would have to stop spending time with smokers, but the Zyban helped so much that I didn’t even mind when someone smoked in front of me. I also only took one pill a day instead of upping the dose to 2 after 10 days. I spoke with my doctor about this, and she said it was okay as long as I felt one would help me kick the habit. I think that only being on one per day made withdrawals easier when it came time to come off the meds. My lungs feel so much better, I am glad I don’t stink anymore, the money I’m saving is incredible, and my daughter is no longer afraid that I will die. I recommend Zyban, expect to feel strange for the first while."

"Do not take this drug. My husband took this to help with smoking cessation. During the entire time, he had bad dreams, but during the fifth week he dreamed he was jumping off a boat, jumped off the bed and crashed to the floor, fracturing his left shoulder and badly bruising his left hip. After four days of extensive testing in the hospital, the doctors concluded the 'fall' was from Zyban. Terrible, terrible pain and very scary."

"I quit smoking the day I started taking zyban, and within 2 weeks, I had no desire for smoking. I used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day for over 20 years. It has been 3 years since I quit smoking."

"Ok, so I started taking Zyban about 2 weeks before my quit date. It helped me with cravings, and also the anxiety associated with not smoking was gone. No side effects experienced."

"I was a two-pack-a-day smoker for over 10 years. I took Zyban and put on the patch. I was done smoking with no withdrawal symptoms in a month. To this day, no cigarettes since '97."

"Only day 2 of Zyban. But cigarettes taste like garbage truck juice, and I have high hopes that I can quit. Will update when more time passes."

"I wasn't even thinking of quitting. I began taking Wellbutrin/Zyban, and within a week I hadn't craved smoking. It has been great, and I have been smoke-free for almost 2 months now."

"Within the first 24 hours of taking Zyban, my mood dropped. I persevered with it, and by day 11, I had thoughts of self-harm. My GP stopped my treatment and put it down as an adverse reaction."

"So the drug works, I am 30 days smoke-free. I only took Zyban for 17 days and stopped taking it 'cause I didn't feel myself. Also, I was having trouble sleeping."

"I have been taking it for 1 week. I get headaches and agitation, a bit dizzy. I was debating whether to stop taking it, but I will try a few more days. Will this go away as I continue?"

"I quit in 1997 using Zyban. The only problem I had was my hands shaking, and I went to 1 pill per day vs. 2, and I was fine. I never looked back and was so grateful for this drug."

"I've been on Zyban for 8 days. I'm still smoking 2 packs a day, I must be the 11% that this drug doesn't work for. Very disappointing."

"Well, I've been using Zyban now for 4 weeks and still smoking! Has not done anything for me, only messed up my sleeping pattern. Anyway, waste of £75."
