yeah. i'd rather smoke than have those horrid sexual side effects.


I'm taking it now (and have been for a month) and quit with it once before...I've never experienced any sexual side effects at all.

Really, the only side effect is the difficulty sleeping.

If you start getting itchy, call your doctor and quit taking it. Tried it once and broke out in hives after 2 weeks use. It was quite the horrible experience, could have used 4 more hands to scratch with.

Isnt' that the thing that vibrates a lot that women sit on?

Or am I thinking of Sybian or something like that? ;)

Good luck w/quitting smoking. :thumbsup:

Just finished my 4th day on this stuff. Seems to dull my nerves. I no longer feel any kind of nicotine withdrawals and when I have a smoke its like there is no nicotine in the cigarette. I find myself still wanting cigarettes but the Zyban seems to have removed all the physical aspects of smoking away. No nicotine withdrawals and no nicotine buzz when I smoke.

Kinda makes you realize how gross it is when you aren't getting anything from it anymore :D
Hang in there!

Ditto. Wellbutrin really did kick my desire to light up though, I wish the hives didn't happen so I coulda kept on using it. Oh well, I went down to ultra lights for a month before using the medicine, that helped too, like smoking air.
