For Smoking Cessation "I'm taking Contrave, which contains Zyban. Immediately, my cravings were dramatically reduced. I was completely shocked because I've been trying to quit for 30 years without success. I'd always get the most unbearable tension headaches and give up. Finally, I asked my doctor for help, and she prescribed this. It's been almost a month now, and I've only smoked a few times. It tastes horrible now, and I'm not craving them at all unless I get really stressed out. But when I do, I don't enjoy it anymore. I encourage you to try it. If you get side effects, reduce the dosage till your body adjusts. Increase very gradually. Hope this helps! Good luck!"

For Smoking Cessation "Before the first week was up, and before I even increased my dosage, I went from smoking almost 2 packs a day to less than 5. When I tried to avoid smoking altogether right away, I had very bad headaches and felt a little achy. I think it does help to taper down some so your body can adjust to the change in nicotine levels. I have tried many times and many methods to quit smoking. Zyban is by far the best."

For Smoking Cessation "I was prescribed Zyban by my physician to aid in quitting smoking. I was super excited to get it because I would finally get the help I needed to kick the habit for good. I read some awesome reviews and was confident this would be it. I was instructed to take one a day for the first few days and then begin taking one twice a day. I felt okay at first, but once I started taking two a day, I began to experience side effects. Headaches, waking up feeling hungover, extreme nausea, confusion and fogginess, muscle tenderness, and definite weakness... almost as if my brain was telling me I couldn't move if I tried, and I became literally too lazy to try. I was super disappointed, it just wasn't for me."

For Smoking Cessation "I used Zyban for two weeks. After five days, my head was heavy, I was nervous, slept a few hours, and all the time I was in some kind of nightmare, so I decided to stop. I’m not satisfied with this product."

For Smoking Cessation "In my first week of Zyban. Need to give up as I smoke a pack a day. Feeling nauseous, last night had a severe headache and woke up thinking I could levitate and fly after having the weirdest out-there dream - it really felt believable. Anyway, going to continue and pray it works, will report back at a later date."

For Smoking Cessation "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."

For Smoking Cessation "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?"
