I've been offered it, finally. Has anyone else had it? Has it worked? Were there any side effects etc?
Thanks

Its used a lot in the USA for depression(where its called Wellbutrin), i think the average dose is 300mgs. Zyban is 150mg buproprion??(sp)
There are lots of possible side effects with anti-depressants but Zyban is not a typical SSRI, its different to them.
Im not sure if its used in this country for depression anyway.
1. Trying patches for 12 weeks - Done
2. Visiting the nurse for 12 weeks for some kind of carbon monoxide test thingy - Done
3. Attending cessation groups, where people trying to quit sit around talking about how they want to quit. He cant do this cos the session is on a Tuesday at 1pm when he is at work. And because he cant do that, they wont let him try Zyban.
It's so frustrating.
Id try other things first if i were you, but its your choice obviously
