Zyban Question

[luv2fress]

For those of you who have successfully used Zyban to quit smoking, can you please tell me how long did you keep taking them after your last smoke?

Thanks

I used Zyban on a couple failed attempts to quit. Last time I failed I went to a support group who asked if I wanted the patch. I said no, that I was doing fine with just Zyban. They told me that using both together didn't double the success rate, it quadrupled it.

When I finally quit I started taking Zyban and then I got sick and didn't feel like going to buy smokes. Slapped a patch on and that was that. Haven't had a smoke since, been over 8 years. Feel awesome in so many ways since I quit, best thing you can do.

I believe I used Zyban 2 or 3 months after quitting, slowly weaning from both the patch and Zyban gradually. They recommend taking it longer than I did but with the patch in conjunction I felt I could cut back faster. Good luck quitting.

Thanks. I slowed down drastically leading up to starting Zyban, then quit within 1 week of starting. Been a month with no cigs at all. I think I will stay on Zyban for a little while longer. My only side effects are dry mouth and a bad taste sometimes.

If you start to slip grab the patch. You'll dream in colour if you use both together LOL

I don't start to slip - I plunge off a cliff. I've been quit for well over ten years now. On the few occasions during those years when I broke down and had a smoke (usually involving drinks with pals, of course), I never had just one. I had three, or four, or eight. And spent the next few days craving like a motherfucker.

I find it easier just to abstain. The many times I failed to quit was due to "rewarding" myself for not smoking by smoking. Pretty stupid but I know many people who did the same. After finally quitting I am so afraid to have a smoke (in fear I will not be able to stop) that I won't even have a joint. I'm afraid if I smoke anything all I will go back to the habit. So I abstain. In place of smoking I fuck a lot more

I literally got every side effect from Zyban, and then some. I get the willies every time I see the word... I quit on the patch at a later date. Not helpful, I know...
