My partner used zyban for stopping smoking and he did about 4 weeks it really did work with friends but he went out and started again, he has just stopped again today but this time hes done it using chantix although I have to say he seems to have felt poorly a lot with this and much preferred when he used the zyban, goodluck with your stopping smoking

I tried Zyban but could'nt get on with it, i stopped smoking but i never slept while taking them so i had to stop taking them. Went back to the smokers clininc to try something else but they told me i had my slot and refused to offer me anything else. So much for helping you try to stop smoking!!!

My son gave up using Zyban. He used to smoke about 20-30 a day and had done for about 20 years. He had no problems giving up and even though he suffered a personal loss 3 months after he quit, he still doesn't smoke now, a year later. I think if you want to do it you will Zyban just makes it easier.

I gave up using Zyban really easily, from day one I didn't have any craving. Six months later I woke up and it was as if I hadn't stopped at all. The cravings came back like mad. I asked the doctor for a repeat prescription but you can only have one shot at it.
Back on the weed so be careful, the cravings will come later but try and be strong and don't give in!

This drug was popular for a while, but patients stopped requesting or accepting it when the Daily Record published a series of centre spreads about patient deaths on the drug.
The articles were poorly written, unscientific and just plain wrong.
Some very minor changes to the data sheet were made, increasing the time patients were to take 1 tab daily before increasing to 2. There are a long list of interactions and potential side effects, one of the most important is that it can cause depression and should not be given to patients with a past history of depression.
This is interesting because the drug is marketed in the States, in higher dose, as a Prozac like antidepressant.
As far as efficacy is concerned the trials showed it to be more that twice as effective as NRT, it can also be used with NRT to increase success rates.
On the down side everyone in the studies had almost one to one backup and support, this is not available to the rest of us, which I think contributed a lot to the results.
It is certainly a drug you need to chat to your GP about, but overall I think it definitely has a place.
