hi jennylo..
as a matter of fact did use zyban to quit... i later lost that quit however, in fact i tried most everything at one time or another..
the good news is that i did in fact something that worked for me long term.. i have been free of nicotine for over 5 years now.. because of my participation in a support group... I attend Nicotine Anonymous meetings both locally, and on line... on line voice meetings are as close as your computer.. and you are welcome to attend while still planning a quit.. however you decide to quit good luck!! there simply is no wrong way to quit..
Nicotine Anonymous is a Non-Profit 12 Step Fellowship of men and women helping each other live nicotine-free lives. Nicotine Anonymous welcomes all those seeking freedom from nicotine addiction, including those using cessation programs and nicotine withdrawal aids. The primary purpose of Nicotine Anonymous is to help all those who would like to cease using tobacco and nicotine products in any form. The Fellowship offers group support and recovery using the 12 Steps as adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous to achieve abstinence from nicotine.
zyban is bupropion actually..it is actually a atypical antidepressant..and nicotine antagonist...so it is used to quit smoking..........
Bupropion reduces the severity of nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. After a seven-week treatment, 27% of subjects who received bupropion reported that an urge to smoke was a problem, versus 56% of those who received placebo. In the same study, 21% of the bupropion group reported mood swings, versus 32% of the placebo group .The bupropion treatment course lasts for seven to twelve weeks, with the patient halting the use of tobacco about ten days into the course. The efficacy of bupropion is similar to that of nicotine replacement therapy. Bupropion approximately doubles the chance of quitting smoking successfully after three months. One year after the treatment, the odds of sustaining smoking cessation are still 1.5 times higher in the bupropion group than in the placebo group.
other methods are try to have a strong will abt it....drink a lot of water whenever if u have urge to smoke....and yes nicotine patches are available too in the market....
keep in mind the deleterious effects of smoking on human body and think them whenever u are smoking...like chronic respiratory disorders eg emphysema..chronic bhronchitis...chronic obstructive pulmonary disease..atherosclerosis...myocardial infarction....peripheral arterial disease like buergers disease...various cancers in body like lung carcinoma..git cancers..urinary bladder cancer....infertility...ok try to keep them in mind...women who smoke they tend to have low birth weight babies..
First of all Congrats! YOU DID IT! Now just don-t go back. I quit a little over 2 months ago, and I promise you it does get easier! Just hang on! So helpful tips- Bring an extra large bottle of water in the car with you- make sure it is ice cold. Second tip (because I was one of the people who like the smell of cigarettes) I would light incense when I was missing the smell. Third, Nicorette (just really portion out the doses, and if you were heavy like a pack a day get the 4 mg. It helps with the headaches a lot. Fourth, when it gets really bad, get in the shower and stay there until you are okay. You can-t smoke in the shower, it will turn off. Fifth, remember it is in your mind. It is as easy as YOU choose for it to be. Just say no. You are not being deprived, nor are you a victim. You CHOSE this, to be a hero for all of those who care about you. Good Luck!
Zyban is not prescribed by doctors in the UK. it can cause siezures and death. However, when i took it, i quit smoking instantly and had the urge to excercise all the time and eat loads of fruit and vegetables.......but it only lasts as long as the tablets last....and you cannot take them forever.....Zyban is a antidepressant

I quit 9 years ago after 1 week of using the patch. I was a smoker for just over 10 years. I never had a desire to start back up. The patch is so much more affordable now. I highly recommend to anyone trying to quit.
