I was on this before and it made me suicidal so I was pulled from it quickly.
Well I am in a much better place now emotionally and can't quit smoking cold turkey I have tried. I am allergic to the patches and can't stand the gum. I am also allergic to Zyban. Anyway I don't remember much of the side effects other than the suicidal part. I started taking it Thursday and so far so good. I actually threw my cigarettes away today and really haven't missed them. So I guess it is doing it's job. I think about it every once in awhile thinking hey go bum a cigarette from the neighbor then I think no you are quitting remember your resolution to get healthier this year. So I drink another swig of soda and put it out of my mind. So it has been about 4 hours since I had a cigarette and that is a record for me lately. I would like to hear experiences from others that have been on this med or are currently on this med. I don't know if it is the med but I had one really strange dream last night. That's what I get for falling asleep during **** Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve and then having The Nate Berkus Show come on after that LOL. Jan

I quit in 3 days on it a couple of years ago and stopped taking the pills after about a month. my advise is keeping taking them for a little while though after you quit. I started back! argh! the dreams I had were pretty cool though! not bad ones. other than that no problems. I wish my insurance would pay for them again!

I found it was easier to quite first thing in the morning instead of trying to do it in the middle of the day. When you go to bed smoke you last cigarette and throw the pack up and wake up the next morning smoke free. I, along with others I know, have had success with this way of doing it.

So far so good. I haven't had a cigarette since 4:00 pm Saturday. Every once in awhile the urge will hit but I am able to combat them easier.
I find myself nauseous and was wondering if this was the medicine or if I have caught some kind of a bug. I also have a headache. But so far so good on the not smoking. Jan
