Wellbutrin/Zyban in Doha???

Is anyone taking either one of these medications? If so, where do you get it from? I realize that I may have to see a doctor at Hamad and then get it from their pharmacy. Before I do that, I would like to know if they even have it. I have tried calling but because of the language barrier that has proved to be useless.

yea it has that effect and i get that one too...ive found that if i wake up at about 5am and take it...it doesnt last until late at night.

Oh and I'll pay your for it and how can we make the "transaction". Seriously, it sounds like a drug deal or something. Email me or I'll email you. Thank you soooo much!!

Munozchick. I have a box of Zyban from a failed attempt to give up smoking. You can have it if you want to tide you over until you find another source. Personally, I didn't like it much as it interferred with my sleep.

Pork chops and cutlets and pork rinds. I really need some pork.

Oh and I loathe pork...except bacon bits in a salad of baked potato. I prefer Turkey bacon.

Lexapro(Cipralex) causes serious weight gain and loss of libido. I don't want either one of those. I realize that it doesn't happen to all people. However, when a medicine has a bad side effect, I am the person that gets it.

Charmed- thank you for the info though!

ask for some cipralex i take that as an antidepressant and it really works well, you can get it in any pharmacy and you dont need a perscription for it as its not that strong! But it works real well!

Remember this motto to live by:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving

safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in

See how many topics we can hijack with pork related issues

You're born, you take s**t. You get out in the world, you take more s**t. You climb a little higher, you take less s**t. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what s**t even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.

I am willing to bet that bacon and sausages would work well as an anti depressant as well. :)

I DON'T need it for smoking cessastion. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant. After it was out for a while, they found that it helped for smoking too. So, they did a trial and came out with Zyban. Zyban is the same exact med, it's just marketed to smokers. They are doing anothe trial now because it helps with obesity. I need it as an antidepressant.

You could just quit and not bother with the medicine. Why trade one addiction for another just because it's cheaper?

I don't need it for smoking cessation. When you're quitting smoking, you generally only need it for 7-12 weeks. I would need it permantley. I found out that you can get it at Hamad but require an appointment with the Psychiatrist.

Hamad does have Zyban. At a very cheap price also beacause they are distributing it as part of a national smoking cessation campaign. One month supply cost me only QR 44.

Anyway, the number to call is 4391177. Ask for an appointment at the Smoking Cessation Clinic (it is in the outpatient building at Hamad).

It's really simple. You go in for the appointment and walk out with the meds in hand.

Good Luck!
