For Smoking Cessation "I've been smoke-free for one and a half months and I largely credit Zyban for this. I am 40 years old, 15 a day smoker for 25 years. I have tried to stop smoking a few times over the past decade, but I end up very agitated and depressed, so resorted to cigarettes again. Previously, I have tried patches, lozenges as well as Champix, which worked for the duration I was on it, but gave me terrible nausea. This time has been quite easy, I credit Zyban for this. The first few days of taking Zyban were pretty tough mentally the first week; I felt spaced out, trippy, and also suffered a bit of insomnia, slightly blurred vision when reading, and teeth grinding. However, these all dissipated, the only effect I have now is minor dry mouth."

For Smoking Cessation "I smoked a pack a day for 20 years and moved to Zyban after Champix gave me some seriously dark thoughts! After 4 days of taking the pills, my smokes tasted funny. After 6 days, I realized that I was only smoking because of the habit, so I just stopped. It's taken away all the anxiety in quitting smoking. I've had a few side effects, but they've actually been okay. My mood is better, I'm going to bed early, sleeping well, and waking up early. I feel very focused and motivated too. The only negative side is that it's dried my skin a bit and I get dry mouth, but I'm drinking 2.5 liters of water per day to fix that. It makes me a bit forgetful too, but that's okay. It's an antidepressant, so it won't be great for everyone, but it worked well for me!"

For Smoking Cessation "I'm 57 and quit smoking in 2000, and it's been more than 22 years! I was skeptical I would be able to quit, but Zyban worked like magic! The good thing is I could still smoke while I was taking it, but 2 days later cigarettes tasted awful, and I had no urge to smoke. Quit completely and never went back. I'm here to share my experience and help others. You can quit with Zyban. Side effects: felt lightheaded and dry mouth, but drank a lot of water."
