"I'm 57 and quit smoking in 2000 and its been more than 22 years! I was skeptical I would be able to quit, but, Zyban worked like magic! The good thing is I could still smoke while I was taking it, but 2 days later cigarettes tasted awful and I had no urge to smoke. Quit completely and never went back. I'm here to share.my experience and help others. You can quit with Zyban. Side.effects: felt light headed and dry mouth but drunk a lot of water"

"I have smoked since I was 12 yrs old. Started smoking daily at age 15. I am now 51. Quit a few times for 3 or 4 months but always went back to it. On day 2 with Zyban and still smoking but looking forward to finally quitting. First day I took one in morning. Felt a bit funny but also was getting pains in chest n arm. Not sure if this was just a panic attack or what but going to keep going. If it gets worse I will have to stop taking zyban. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was nothing more than a panic attack."

"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 will never see my 50th birthday, so decided to quit, at first I took Zyban for one month, my cigarettes cut down to 10 a day within 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 its been 3 days I am tobacco free, only side effects that I think its from nicotine withdrawal is intense headaches all day long. I just wanted to write this review for those who fail to quit try combining drugs, specially 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 drugs alone. I hope this was helpful"

"After smoking for almost 30 years I am proud to say I have not smoked in 4 months thanks to Zyban. I felt strange taking it in the first 10 days and it made me not want to smoke because I had sort of a physical reaction when I tried to. It was weird, my throat felt like it was closed off so the cigarettes were no longer enjoyable. I thought I would have to stop spending time with smokers but the Zyban helped so much that I didn’t even mind when someone smoked in front of me. I also only took one pill a day instead of upping the dose to 2 after 10 days. I spoke with my doctor about this and she said it was ok as long as I felt one would help me kick the habit. I think that only being on one per day made withdrawals easier when it came time to come off the meds. My lungs feel so much better, I am glad I don’t stink anymore, the money I’m saving is incredible and my daughter is no longer afraid that I will die. I recommend Zyban, expect to feel strange for the first while."

"Ok, so I started taking Zyban about 2 weeks before my quit date. It helped me with cravings and also the anxiety, associated with not-smoking was gone. No side effects experienced."

"Within the first 24 hours of taking Zyban my mood dropped. I persevered with it and by day 11 I had thoughts of self harm. My GP stopped my treatment and put it down as an adverse reaction. "
