How Zyban Works

Zyban is an extended-release antidepressant pill that can alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It works by acting on brain chemicals associated with cravings for nicotine.

Zyban costs on $4 per day and comes with specific instructions:

• For best results, start taking Zyban one week to two weeks prior to your quit date.
• Take 150 mg each day for the first three days.
• From there, many people will increase to the recommended dose of 300 mg per day, taken in two 150 mg doses eight hours apart.

Treatment with Zyban typically lasts 7 to 12 weeks. If you don't show significant progress by the seventh week, treatment usually is suspended.

The Pros and Cons of Taking Zyban

Patients using Zyban are generally successful at quitting, according to research. Zyban has been shown to be particularly effective when used along with a nicotine replacement therapy like the patch or gum.

The pros associated with taking this medication are:

• It’s easy to take.
• It contains no nicotine, so there is no problem with toxicity if you still smoke.
• It can be used with other nicotine replacement therapies.
• It can help if the patient is also depressed.

Some of the negatives of this drug are similar to those of Chantix:

• It can cause mood and behavioral changes, and thoughts of suicide. The FDA has also recently required the makers of Zyban to place a back box warning on the packaging because some patients taking it can become hostile or suicidal.
• Zyban cannot be used by anyone who has:
  • • A history of seizures
    • A history of severe head trauma
    • A previous or current eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia
    • A current or past history of heavy alcohol drinking
    • Side effects of Zyban include insomnia, dry mouth, and dizziness.

With careful monitoring from your doctor, and if you don’t have any pre-existing conditions that would rule you out as a candidate, these non-nicotine based medications might be worth considering.

Ok u convinced me..I will take Zyban.

Ok u convinced me..I will take Zyban.

Give it a try and start at 150mg and stick to that dose. Do not increase to 300mg. Make sure you get the slow release version.

The most common side effect is insomnia so it is best to take the dose first thing in the morning. This usually passes after a few days. If insomnia persists then discontinue the drug.

You may also find that you're losing weight and this is one of the positive side effects for those who are happy to shed a couple of kilos. This is because the drug speeds up the metabolism and gives you more energy.

By Sarah Jio

July 24, 2012

Today we hear from a writer who says a common antidepressant had some pretty wild side effects (in a good way). Her story..
.

You may recall how Dr. Drew Pinsky came under fire for allegedly taking payments from the makers of the popular antidepressant Wellbutrin to promote its libido-boosting benefits in the media. And now, the GlaxoSmithKline has reportedly been fined $3 million for inaccurate marketing and branding of the drug.

But wait, says Blisstree's Elizabeth Nolan Brown, who bravely shared her personal story of taking Wellbutrin. Not only did it help her beat smoking and deal with the anxiety after effects of that, she says it also boosted her sex drive and did have appetite-reducing qualities.

"Glaxo reps apparently pushed the drug as the 'happy, horny, skinny pill,'" she writes. "In my experience, that's pretty accurate. I've taken generic Wellbutrin off and on since 2010, both times prescribed to help me quit smoking. ...But in addition to nearly killing my desire for cigarettes (and working as an antidepressant), the drug has undoubtedly upped my energy and sex drive and decreased my appetite .... These effects do lessen some over time, but haven't ceased entirely."

While I think it's too much to call any pill "happy, horny, skinny" (no pill is a life cure-all, and all antidepressants have side effects), I do think it's interesting to know one woman's personal story, and I've shared it here for no other reason than to keep the dialogue open about antidepressants. The more we know and can talk about benefits, side effects, complaints and shared stories, the better off we are, gals.

So, I'm curious to know about your stories: Did Wellbutrin work for you?

Fascinating! There seems to be a link between depression and libido.

So if someone stops fucking, is it a symptom of depression?

And more importantly, can you fuck your way out of depression?

It's low libido or lack of sex tat causes depression. Not the other way round

I always assumed it was the other way round... Libido drops because of depression.

No, libido drops because testosterone drops. Depression could be a symptom, but it is not the cause.

Supplements might help.

I was initially thinking the thread has gone out of topic. Supposed to be about depression and it has morphed into a sex thread. Then it dawned on to me, I have never heard of or met with anyone who's having lots of good sex being depressed! So, there is a direct correlation! The folks here are genuises! I am in the company of great minds

Ultimately it's all about sex, or the lack thereof.

And to off track a bit more... What does it say about our low fertility rate? That we are one depressed nation?

Go one big round anxious depress stress then come back to sex.
