I am on day 6 of Zyban, with my quit day of November 12th screaming towards me and this time I a'int CR*PPING MYSELF ABOUT IT! I have smoked for 27 years, which is actually weird because I keep myself fit and don't like smoke around me? I have had more failed attempts than Tom Cruise has appeared in movies and this time I know I am ready! I thought about quitting 3 weeks ago and realised that N.R.T or cold turkey does not work for me, I started seeing a counsellor during this time, in preparation for my quit, Zyban has made fag's boring as I no longer get the nice little nicotine hit in my brain. I realise now that I am not immortal and want to live a lot longer than 43, this time is my time, although some support on Monday the 12th would be appreciated...Good luck everyone!

I quit using Wellbutrin XL (Zyban by another name) in May of 2005.
It was a challenge at times, but along with the Wellbutrin I just kept in my consciousness that the withdrawls were only temporary and they were not going to harm me. I later figured out that they weren't torments for quitting, but signs of healing (wish I'd thought of that beforehand, lol).
I trusted in the people ahead of me who kept telling me to just get through the day, hour, or even minute. They told me that eventually it would be so very much worth it all. And they told me true. "Worth it" barely scratches the surface.
Peace and blessings, Paul
