After seven days I quit the pill because I did'nt like how it made me feel. I also quit smoking at the same time. Whenever I got the urge I went in the garage and took acouple of hits off a cigar. That seemed to work for me, cause I have'nt litup since. I don't even mind when someone is smoking and the smoke gets in my face.


Let me also say..."you really have to WANT to quit", not halfass quit. The day I saw my 3yo put a cig in his mouth and say "look daddy, I'm like you"!!! I quit.........
Yup I did the same thing the pill is called Zyban, or Wellbuterin (sp??) Haven't had a smoke in over 2years.

And Kareem Korn is right you really have to want to quit.

With the pill the first 2 weeks for me were hell, I wanted a smoke so bad after a meal or a beer but the pill helps w/ the craving and after about 2 months I had no craving to smoke anymore

Good luck!!!
