Hi Mama, I am on Zyban, but you need to speak to medical, as it isnt a medication that is suitable for everyone. I get it on prescription but they only give me 2 weeks at a time, and i have to go back every 2 weeks, and they give a maximum of 6 weeks. At first, I hated it. I felt like I couldnt breath properly, I felt a bit sick etc. You have to take one for the first week, then two for the second. My body got used to them. My father smoked 80 - 100 a day, and we were shocked when he quit after using Zyban. He has been quit for 6 years after a lifetime of smoking. My brother also quit using it. But as i said its not suitable for everyone. I think they dont give it to people who have had head injuries or people that suffer from depression. We can only get it as part of a programme in UK, and it is strictly monitored and regulated. You do still need will power though, if you read my posts I do still have tough days and days when I think about smoking and I still get cravings - although not as much as going cold turkey. For me the benefit is that Nicotine was out of my body by day 4. As it contains no nicotine, so I dont need to be weaned off the tablet at the end of the 6 week programme. All medications are different for everyone. It can work for one, and not for another. But for me, my father could quit 100 a day using it, then its good enough for me. Word of warning, it can cause anxiety and depression. But as with all medication, it has different effects on different people, so use it under supervision of your doctor.

Hi, Mama here and since I had my slip this weekend and started using the patch, I would like to hear about other peoples experience with the patch. I have had trouble getting off of them in the past so I am going to the doctor tomorrow and talk to him about getting Zyban or the equivialt to maybe help with that part. The patch has made it so much easier for me I can't believe it. (maybe after being cold turkey for 16 days, maybe my body is appreciating the nicotine, Haha) Anyways, what benefits will I still maybe notice even though I am on patches? What benefits will I not get because of the patches? Also, I need some opinions about the Zyban idea. You see, I don't really want to feel that I am just trying the same things that didn't work before over and over. When I used the patches, I went almost 3 months and then couldn't seem to stand going off of them. Also, the biggest problem I was having with the cold turkey was serious depression, which I am going to talk to the doctor about tomorrow. So maybe that will be killing two birds with one stone. What dosage is considered theraputic with the Zyban? Are the generics and Wellbutrin just as good? Thank you every one for your help and support this weekend. My slip certainly didn't happen because of lack of loving support. I am not going to let you down.

Yes Ed, it certainly did. Thank you cyberduke. I just came back to work from the doctor and she gave me the wellbutrin prescription and said that if I feel I need to stay on the patches longer, I can. I worry about my heart and the damage the nicotine is doing, that is why I am quitting smoking anyways. Heart problem run in my family right alongside the smoking and I am at the age that the problems seem to start. I really have to vent that I just hate these doctors! This lady has no understanding about the quitting process at all. It's kind of like, well why don't you just not smoke? I was trying to explain to her all the chemical changes taking place and she was just soooo skeptical. I have a lot going on too because I have lost a lot of weight, and I am perimenopausal also. It's so hard to pin them down to discuss anything in any depth. This is the third doctor I have seen in this clinic. But I did get my perscription and I have to really watch my blood pressure closely. I still feel much more comfortable with the patch. I am just really worried about losing my quit when I am going to step down or get off of them.

I did not use my patches like I was suppose to ... bad Breaking Free ... BAD! LOL. heh! :p But a lot of people on here have. I think Cyberduke was one of them. I am just really happy that you have found something to aid you in your quit and that you are right back on the quit wagon.

Mama ... maybe ask about using gum in conjunction with the patch. Wear your patch, do not chew nicorette gum. When it comes time to step down. Instead of stepping down 7mg in one day, you could put on your new 'step down' patch and chew a piece of gum that day. then the next day do not chew a piece of gum ... so the step down would be slower. Does that make sense to you? Ask your doc about it.

Hello Mama, I used the patches and would recommend them as it seems to separate the addiction from the habit. Just gives you several weeks 'extra time' to break the habit before quitting the nicotine. In my experience (on a 24 hour patch) I had some sleeping problems. Ended up taking the patch off at night (with no withdrawal problems) Hope this helps you Mr Ed :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 128 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,859 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �960 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 48 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

Yes I sure am one of them. Without the patch I would have failed. The patch took the edge off the quit and gave me the chance to wean myself off nicotine. I think the main problem with the patch is people rush themselves. My doctor gave me 6 months to get off the patch once I started. I was on the 21mg patch for 7 weeks then I went to the 14 for two weeks and I got off the 7mg patch in less than a week. My doctor was inpressed and so was I. I quit without any major depression or outbursts. I also used Xanax as an anti anxiety. That helped me sleep. I tried to quit about a gazillion times before and NEVER made it past a day or two without endangering myself or my relationships with others. I needed help. I don't consider myself weak because I needed the help, I consider myself smart because I sought it out and used it to my advantage. Using the patch costs about the same as smoking (I did 2 packs a day) for me so the cost was still there for a while, but my health improved a lot while on the patch. My breathing got easier, my sinuses cleared out, i could smell and taste things again. The patch is not hurting you - use it as long as you need to. You smoked a long time, let nature take it's course. Do like I did, use the patch until you find you're forgetting to put it on in the morning, then, you're ready to be cold turkey and done with the habit. Take your time - that's the best advice I can offer you - don't rush and don't worry about the patch, just use it until you don't need to. I think more people should talk to their doctors and see what help is available. I don't think there's a need for some of the suffering I read about here on the board. if only people didn't consider these things crutches, they aren't, they are tools! Good on you for getting help - GO FOR IT - ONWARD AND UPWARDS!
