I dont know if you have had this experience, but when I used zyban the first time I had a hard time sleeping. I was taking 2 pills a day, one in the morning and one at night..some one on this site told me that the Zyban causes insomnia so be sure not to take it right before you go to bed...take it earlier in the afternoon.

Could anyone tell me about zyban for the first 6 days I have had 1 tablet a day, yesterday I started 2 a day and my quit date is this coming Sunday. I have continued to smoke while taking the course if anything more than normal, but today I notice a difference in the taste of the cigarette and am not smoking quite so much is this how its supposed to work, I know I will also have to have willpower, but it would be nice to hear from someone who gave up smoking with zyban.

Hi Laptop Im using Zyban. For the first 3 days I took 1 pill, then 2 after that for the 2 weeks. Same thing with me...cigs started to taste...well, not good. I didnt get the satisfation I was wanting. So nearing my quit date, I knew I would be able to stop. This is the first time ive tried zyban, and for me...SO FAR SO GOOD!!! I dont go crazy,like i did on previous attempts, when I had a craving. I definately think I will succeed this time!! congrats on the decision to quit!!! I hope zyban works for you, as well as it is for me!

laptop147 Get prepared and get yourself educated about this addiction of ours. No one really has to tell you why you need to do this...you know too well like the rest of us. I personally didn't have any luck with the Zyban, it gave me excruciating headaches. I used Chantix to quit, and it worked. keep close...and keep reading.... your own willpower is much stronger than you think... auntdeb :8|: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 76 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,838 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $361 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 10 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

laptop147, I'm using Zyban as well. I'm 2 months into my quit. I can't say the Zyban changed the taste of the cigarettes, but what I can say is that it takes the "kick" out of each puff you take. Its like inhaling smoke without ANY little happy dance in the brain. And in the end you say, "why bother?" It works as long as you work it, and have your quit smoking coping tools ready. It definitely takes the edge off.

I quit successfully using Zyban 9 months ago, and my hubby just finished his script for it, he's been quit 2 months. I did not experience a change in taste of my cigs, I was hoping to, but it didn't happen. My doctor said day 8 would be my quit date, but that came and went and I was still enjoying my cigs. I then realized after about 2 weeks, that it was gonna take some work on my part, that it wasn't magic. Then I quit. Zyban made me edgy and irritable, but I have to say cravings weren't out of control. I had a pretty easy time, actually. It's all in your attitude. Positive thinking is HUGE, and you have to WANT to quit. Hold on tight, and realize you have sooo much support here.

Yes you are right on track. Part of using Zbyan, is after you take it for a week or so, cigarettes start to taste the way they really do. AWFUL. Makes you want to smoke less and less, and if you really want to quit it seems like you just quit one day. I knew a couple of people that were not commited to their quit, yet thought taking Zyban would help them quit. They never did stop smoking, because even though they said the cig's tasted bad, they pushed through with smoking. They were not prepared mentally. Well no pill, patch, gum or any other NRT is the magic bullet without willpower and determination Good luck with your quit date.
