| 5 | Quit Smoking | Side effects are pretty bad. Really loud ringing in my ears and I'm totally confused and in a haize... what a nightmare before finals. I can say that I have completely quit smoking!! and sleeping (taking unisom for that.. left the smokes for a temporary pill popping habit.. but i'm in a pretty good mood, eh?) | I can be around people who smoke and it doesn't bother me a bit. I won't be able to take this stuff the full 7 weeks like recommended because my head is really screwed up on it. Really bad!!! I feel weird to say the least... but I've tried to quit smoking 20-30 times in every other way possible and have been unable until now. For that, it's worth it all!! I need to make sure I never have to do this again!! | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 12/11/2004 | 3 | to quite smoking | the first day i started to feel paranoid, nervess, weird like not right in the head, a feel of dumness. did want to talk to anyone and easly set off. couldn't stand loud noise or unhappy people. had to go home from work at a call center because i couldn't handle customers problems. stop taking the pills the 4th day because i feel like i can function or think or really do anything at all. | with in the second day i really don't like the smell of cig. smoke. can really smoke a full cig with out feeling sick. | M | 24 | 4 days | 12/11/2004 | 5 | Stop Smoking | Poor quality sleep yet constantly dozy. Irritable eyes, flushy. | Worth these side effects to stop smoking, effects ceased on course completion | M | 42 | 1 months | 12/9/2004 | 5 | to quit smoking | none | It worked great for me,I have no side effects and the cravings are about 80% less severe than trying cold turkey | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 11/25/2004 | 1 | to stop smoking | After a few days I was very aware of the anti-depressant side to this drug. I felt confident, very calm and in control. Situations that normally would have made me very anxious were no problem at all. However after 2 weeks I started to feel very out of control and started to have panic attacks which petrified me. I threw the pills away and 2 weeks later my head feels like it is about to explode, I have ringing in my ears, still having panic attacks and just generally doubt my own sanity. I would say to anyone do not take this drug it's evil! It was never even designed to help people stop smoking - it just messes you up. The only real way to give up smoking is cold turkey. I'm still not smoking 3 weeks after quitting but feel it's no thanks to Zyban. | M | 30 | 14 days | 11/24/2004 | 1 | to give up smoking | Abdominal pain, dirrhea, bloating and nausea. These symptoms are still continuing 3 years after taking Zyban | Don't take it. It will only make you sick and the doctors won't belive that it is from this. trust me. I know all about it. | M | 23 | 12 days | 11/16/2004 | 5 | Quite smoking | Slept better than ever. Used to awake at 3:30 AM and stay up. Now I slep to the alarm. It's great and the only real side effect is waking up during the night with a hugh erection (honest). Have taken it for 11 month and feel it's a god sent to my not wanting to smoke. | M | 57 | 11 months | 11/3/2004 | 1 | To stop smoking | Shakes, irritable, palpitations, felt like going to pass out all the time and head was going to explode. Dizziness, thoughts of death & suicide. Didnt want my 4 year old anywhere near me. Felt I was not in control of myself and was going mad. | Day 4 had few glasses wine. Told by Dr it was ok to drink. Next day felt like I was Staggering home from an all night session. Dr told me to carry on taking but stopped next day. Eventually put on anti-depressents. Still not myself 4 years later. Worse decision of my life. STAY WELL CLEAR | F | 36 | 5 days | 11/3/2004 | 1 | To stop smoking | Shakes, irritable, palpitations, felt like going to pass out all the time and head was going to explode.

I became emotional, irrational and felt my sanity was beginning to slip away - fast. Stopped immediately. I was wandering the house in the dark crying uncontrollably and knew I shouldn't be but was powerless to do anything about it. It took 24hrs to regain normality. | It may work for a large proportion of people but losing a grip on your mental or emotional state is not worth it. If you feel an adverse side effect you are not happy with - stop taking it! | M | 35 | 7 days | 10/30/2004 | 5 | to quit smoking | can't sleep.I am awake at 3 am every morning.Feel a little spaced out at times.Dry mouth.Other than that it is great.Stopped smoking after 6 days and I feel great. | Works great! Never thought quitting could be so easy. | M | 13 days | 10/29/2004 | 4 | Quit Smoking | Possibly Hives.... Still trying to determine. | It took the edge off. | M | 28 | 60 days | 10/19/2004 | 1 | cease smoking | I took Zyban for 5 days. One tablet per day. By the 3rd day I was suffering from acute anxiety, restlessness and could not sleep. By the 4 and 5 day I started to have problems breathing and my heart rate increased dramatically. I could not stop myself from pacing around the house/yard. I felt like a caged animal and had to consciously | F | 45 | 5 days | 10/10/2004 | 1 | Quit smoking | Depression, irrational, violent. 2 years later trying to pick up the pieces of what is left of my life. Now classed by some ex friends as BPD. | Took the stuff for 5 weeks. Never again. | M | 44 | 6 weeks | 10/4/2004 | 5 | Stop | I loved how this drug made me feel. Didn't procrastinate as much. More optomistic and slower to speak. Fealt focused,content,and happy. Some insomnia, irrational anger, and dry mouth at first, but I totally recomend this product. | Zyban works and the new generic form costs less than the patch. Side effects are minimal, managable, and never unbearable... especially compared to | M | 34 | 31 days | 9/27/2004 | 3 | Stop Smoking | Oh yes....extreme anger, especially when I would have a glass of wine. ANY alcohol that I consumed always seemed to be maximized ten fold while I was on Zyban and then it was all down hill from there. I would get extremely angry, out-of-control, yell and scream and then break down and cry. I was extremely paranoid while on Zyban and felt, at times, suicidal. That was a strange feeling to have for me. It did help me to quit smoking though! But, if that's what it took to stop smoking while on Zyban...I'll NEVER start smoking again! | M | 30 | 2 months | 9/14/2004 | 3 | quit smoking | Insomnia. Irritability. Depression. Inability to talk with others. Feeling | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 9/1/2004 | 3 | quit smoking | Insomnia. Irritability. Depression. Inability to talk with others. Feeling | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 9/1/2004 | 5 | stop smoking | vivid dreams, a tiny bit of sleeplessness at first, really that's all. well worth quitting! | been taking 200 mg/day for about 3 weeks, quit smoking immediately after smoking for 10 years/pack a day. it's hard to explain, zyban doesn't make me feel any different, i just said, | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 8/17/2004 |
