Should tell you all you want to know.
I've never used it. I was going to but I also heard stories about some people having bad nightmares as well.
If you look at the link and scroll down it lists the possible side effects, as with any medication these are just possible side effects and some people wont have any.
I'll be intrested to hear how you get on.
Good luck!
my gp was really willing to give me them certain gp's won't though as they were origanally marketed as a antidepressent, i will keep you all posted as to how i get on
hi all i'm finally feeling the urge to quit i feel like i don't even want 1. I normally have 1 as soon as i get out of bed and i didn't this morning. i waited 3 hours b4 i even has a puff and i didn't even want it so put it out. OMG i'm so proud lol
I'm on day 6 of taking zyban but was told to start taking 2 a day on day 4, which has surprised me as anything I've read about it says to double the dose on day 7. I'm still smoking but not as much but I've banned myself from smoking inside so it could be due to the fact it is ruddy freezing outside :o) The only other thing I've noticed is a slight headache on & off since yesterday but again that could be due to me stressing over the kids christmas presents. Wouldn't the best present be for their mum to be a non-smoker :o)
