Quit Smoking - ZYBAN

I am half way through my 8 weeks course of taking Zyban for quit smoking. Hamad has run out of stock of Zyban and I am unable to find a palce to buy this prescription drug. If I dont complete the course, the half treatment may not help.

Can anybody guide ? Perhaps some of our friends may have some stock of Zyban (left over ?).

Regards
Rudran

for such a long time and been of it for 5 years now without any medical treatment. If you are determined to quit your habit, no drugs or treatment is better than your desire to help yourself. I wish you all the luck! :)

Not exactly. Zyban is not a drug with which you get addicted.

Zyban s a brand name for prescription drug Bupropion HCl. Very effective for cessation of smoking. This is not available in the open market. More info available in the Net.

HMC has a Smoking Cessation programme (for about 8 weeks). Unfortunately, they are out of stock of the Drug Zyban - and I am stuck half way through, without completing the course of 8 weeks.

Side effects are, of course, very horrible, but anybody serious will agree that it is or was worth the troublesome experience.

Take an appointment at 44174411 (Gharafa) or 44391177 (HMC). I dont think that they care about our Health Card !

Best of luck

Interesting drug for treatment of depression and for cessation of my smoking habit. Mr. Rudran, would you be so kind as to let me know the cost of Zyban before I see a physician? Thanks a lot:)

For general benefit, can you explain exactly what is this Zyban?

Is it really helping ? Any side effects?
