I am currently using chantix. It has worked well for me. I am one of those hard cases that has tried just about everything wellbutrin, patches, lozenges, cold turkey, hypnosis, etc......
It took me a little longer than some but it's working. Between the medicine and this site I am doing really well and feeling well armed. Can't say I post alot but I read alot and it helps alot.

Nice to see the possitive attitudes. I have a very possitive attitude about my quit this time around. Even if I belong to the crabbyass club today.

I forgot to say I smoked 1 to 1 and a half packs a day for 28 years. Also I am a respiratory therapist, know more about what smoking does to people than just about anyone except a pulmonoligist. We all just have to find what works for us personally. We are here for yo don't forget

Zyban also made me crazy, felt like I was on speed and stayed up to long. Patches worked o.k but I had very vivid dreams and an awful taste in my mouth, lozeges stung my mouth, hypnosis didn't quite do it either. Although I know all of these things have been effective for other people just not me personally. Also tried an all natural thing called stop it. Currently I am trying Chantix. Working very well for me. No signifgant side affects. Just kind of got where it just wasn't worth the effort of going out for a smoke. Not to say I didn't have withdrawls or cravings.Reading all the stuff on the website helps to.
Keep trying until you find what works for you. Never give up sweetie, you will get there!

I too have found great success with Chantis. As they say it does not let the nicotine bind to the receptors therefor making smoking non rewarding so to speak.
At one time I did try Zyban it is a antidepressant and I personally didn't like the way I felt taking it. I have not had any real side effects with the Chantix.A little upset stomache if I don't take it with food but otherwise all is good.
I am one of those that tried everything including hypnosis. So happy to find something that worked.
