| 4 | to quit smoking | none as yet | i just feel i want to make a comment really . I started taking zyban yesterday and so far so good ! But whilst reading alot of the posts on here and another site i do wonder how many of the side effects could possibly also be related to nicotine withdrawal! Just a thought good luck everyone . | F | 45 | 2 days | 4/5/2007 | 1 | quit smoking | I did not take the drug. I decided I can do without it. | I researched on google for sidefects and after reading both positive and negative comments decided that I am better of with some minor anti-depressant. I will try taking only one cigarette in the morning and one before sleep for a few weeks then take that out too. | M | 28 | 0 times | 4/5/2007 | 1 | THINKING Zyban / Quit Smoking | I have the bottle full and ready to take. I have tried cold turkey and patches in the past and only quit for 8 months. So this time around I thought I would try this. THANK Goodness I found this rating page. Everyone's experience sounds just terrible. Thank you all for being so honest. I will find another way to quit. I don't think I could handle the dreams, depression and the thought of hurting someone or myself! Going through smoking withdrawl, Zyban effects, and PMS would send me to the Loonie Bin!!..LOL...Think I will stay away from Zyban! | F | 32 | 0 days | 4/4/2007 | 3 | Quit Smoking | Intense irritability and aggravation. Things that previously did not bother me, now piss me off, and those that did previously piss me off drive me into a murderous rage. Insomnia, uncontrollable emotional outbursts, random crying, depression, anger, etc; Feeling of walking under water. | I have not had a cigarette in 16 days. I am not entirely sure the zyban helped me quit as I still found the cigs tasted good on my stop date. I still have urges to smoke, but I distract myself. I quit cold turkey last time for a year and a half, and had a rough time, thought this would be easier..... not so sure now. Smoked for 10 years. | F | 27 | 25 days | 4/3/2007 | 5 | stop smoking | im returning to this msg bored to tell you my side effects have all gone, im no longer feeling drunk or dizzy & im not smoking & havent scince day 6, i feel like maybe 1 of the lucky one's i spose, but not everyone has bad effects from this drug & it does work, ive been smoking 10 years & i can now taste things its great, i feel amazing my skin is great as ive been suffering from slite acne it has all cleared up. | im a happy bunny thanx to zyban, im no longer feeling down & im not smoking!! i also have a mad sex drive right now too!! im feeling good... | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 3/28/2007 | 3 | medical advice | absolutely horrific, depression, panic attacks, aggressive behaviour, paranoia, vomiting, constant sickness, no appetite, weight loss, have never had these symptoms before. i cannot believe it can be prescribed. have phoned glaxo (the makers of zyban), who stone walled me, refused to give me any information, medics are blaming me instead of looking at the drug what a disgusting drug. | zyban stopped the urge to stop smoking, i dont know if its worth it though due to side affects. | F | 29 | 12 days | 3/26/2007 | 2 | Cessation of Smoking | I have never suffered with an allergic reaction to anything. However Zyban managed to produce the most massive amount of hives from head to toe in under 12 hours. | Actually did stop smoking around day 8 with just a couple of puffs till day 10, on day 18 about an hour after my 2nd tab I noticed a slight rash and thought i may have been bitten by something. By the next morning I was covered with Hives, I didn't risk taking another and Dr confirmed I should NOT... | F | 44 | 18 days | 3/24/2007 | 5 | quit smoking | feeling like im drunk all the time! loads of energy that drives my husband mad! i cant sit still, but the werse side effect of all is not getting a wink of sleep at all for the past 4 days ive been up all night whatching tv cos there nothing i can do... i feel charged buzzing round the house even after not sleeping its as if ive been on (drugs) | this is my second week and im on the 2 pills a day and i have to say they are working a treat i dont have any desire to look at or smoke a ciggie im feeling better in the way im breathing, my skin looks great, i dont stink and the best thing of all my kids give me a propper kiss goodnight now (im no longer getting just the cheak) | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 3/21/2007 | 3 | quit smoking | anxiety, couldnt sleep, would wake up every hour, irritablity went thru the roof, zombie like feeling, slow time, very vivid dreams, loss of coping skills, depression in a major way. | although this drug helped me to not want to smoke, i can't reccomend it to anyone. i have never had an anxiety attack in my life until i tried this drug. i've also never had any problem with depression, and now i feel out of my mind half the time. i really hope this goes away once it gets out of my body. i dont know which is worse smoking or this stuff. | M | 26 | 18 days | 3/20/2007 | 1 | quit smoking | anxiety, couldnt sleep, would wake up every hour, irritablity went thru the roof, zombie like feeling, slow time, very vivid dreams, loss of coping skills, depression in a major way. | although this drug helped me to not want to smoke, i can't reccomend it to anyone. i have never had an anxiety attack in my life until i tried this drug. i've also never had any problem with depression, and now i feel out of my mind half the time. i really hope this goes away once it gets out of my body. i dont know which is worse smoking or this stuff. | M | 26 | 18 days | 3/20/2007 | 1 | Break nicotine habit | Absolutely thought I was going insane. Wicked dizziness and extremely crazy thoughts. I ahve experimented with recreational drugs (often through college) and never had anything like this in my life. It was truely terrifying. I cannot believe it was prescribed to me with no advance warning of side effects. BE VERY CAREFUL & STOP IMMEDIATELY IF NECESSARY. | Scared me to death!!!!! | M | 37 | 5 days | 3/18/2007 | 2 | To stop smoking | I noticed after the second tablet feeling spaced out and jittery. After about the fourth tablet I noticed becoming more aggresive, at home, at work and whilst driving. I have been taking them for 10 days - one a day only (no way am I taking two a day). I have problems sleeping - wake up every hour. I feel slightly confused and today have started experiencing numbness in my left hand and foot. | I smoked my last cigerette on day 6 so have been nicotine free for 4 days. Because of the numbness I shall stop taken them for fear of a stroke. I have not felt like smoking and have not put on any weight. | F | 42 | 10 days | 3/17/2007 | 4 | to quit smoking | sleeping problems, dry mouth, agitated | F | 28 | 21 days | 3/15/2007 | 5 | Stop Smoking | Insomnia, panic attacks. | With the help of Zyban, I stopped smoking after 20 years. Once or twice I did get terrible withdrawal feelings, one day lasted for 2 hours, but once I got through that it was pretty easy. The panic attacks where difficult, but better than effects of smoking!!! My only concern now is that I am still getting panic/anxiety attacks, even 3 weeks after finishing Zyban. I'm sure this is due to Zyban, as I (*-*) | F | 8 weeks | 3/13/2007 | 5 | stop smoking | At first there was no side effects until I started taking 2 a day. On day 7 I really didn't want to even hold a cigarette never mind smoke one, the thought of it made me feel sick, however I consistanly had a banging headache, sore back, ringing in the ears, the shakes, nausea. I'm now on day 15 and things are starting to ease. Still don't want to smoke and the smell knocks me sick! | Try it, you will be surprised how quickly you stop! | F | 26 | 21 days | 3/12/2007 | 1 | Smoking Cessation | I experienced massive, soul-destroying depression while taking Zyban. Within one day of taking the first pill, I started having nightmares and waking up with a sense of dread. By the second day, I was starting to have feelings of anxiety and depression. The depression got worse every day. Eventually I was so depressed and irritated that I was unable to perform at work and lost my job. I got a new job, but only lasted there for one day. The depression was so powerful that I was unable to do anything at all. I was suicidal. I still am. I actually started looking around for ways to kill myself. I wrote a will and started throwing personal items away. Because I don't really want to die, or at least I didn't before I started taking Zyban, I had to leave the city where I was living and return home, because I couldn't cope at all. I lost a lot of money moving back and cancelling my lease. After over two months, I am still recovering from the depression. I am hoping that I will get in to see a | Zyban works. I did not feel like smoking within around 10 days of starting to take it. Unfortunately, the feelings of depression which I experienced were so overwhelming that I had to stop taking the medication and start smoking again. When I started smoking again, every puff elevated my mood slightly. I was impressed with Zyban's ability to make me not want to smoke, but the depression and anxiety this drug has caused me wasn't worth it. I would not recommend taking it for anyone who has ever had a problem with depression. | M | 36 | 3 days | 3/6/2007 | 4 | Stop smoking | jittery, wide awake feeling, feeling of time slowing down. More vocal. | I have used zyban before and quit smoking for 3 years. Went back to smoking when my mom passed away. Trying to quit again with zyban and have smoked 7 cigarettes in 5 days. Am positive that I can make it this time. The craving is gone and I only take zyban once a day. | F | 53 | 19 days | 3/4/2007 | 3 | to stop smoking 60 a day | lost concentration ,dizzy , sex drive low, One year on still not the same although i have not had a cig for a year | is it safe ?

I have now not smoked for 4 weeks and am feeling great. I reccomend Zyban to anybody trying to quit. | M | 23 | 4 days | 2/28/2007 |
