For Smoking Cessation "Took this Zyban to help my pack-a-day habit! Yes, it works, cravings are gone. However, it spun me into a rage, angry, aggressive, couldn’t help myself... so yes, I’ve quit smoking, but almost lost myself and my family in the process!"

For Smoking Cessation "Tried expensive Chantix first. Bizarre dreams and did really scary things in my sleep. Really a psychotic drug! Made me completely psychotic and angry. Then tried Zyban and read the interesting comments. Only needed the lower doses. I was on the drug for 2.5 months. Able to gracefully quit a 1-1/2 pack a day habit by Nov 2006. No angry responses. Not afraid to sleep. Even lost a few pounds. Have stayed off the butts since 2006. Good drug for smoking cessation-bad anti-depressant. Cheap. Generic available."

For Smoking Cessation "At first, had lots of energy, and my concentration was great. Got a weird metallic taste in my mouth after I smoked and started to lose the temptation. I slowly started becoming more aggressive and agitated. On about the 5th day, I had hallucinations, freaked out, and stopped taking it."

For Smoking Cessation "My partner took Zyban to help him quit smoking. Yes, it did help him to stop, but the side effects have been horrific. I would not recommend anyone using this. For the past five and a half years, he has suffered terrible mood swings, to the point that he frightens me, and there has been a little violence (in the early days). He has had suicidal thoughts (and still does now occasionally). Our happy little family unit has almost been destroyed... we are still together by the grace of God, but for how much longer, I don't know. I know his health has probably improved no end due to no longer smoking, but his mental health has suffered greatly, and sadly I don't know if things will ever improve."
