hey Son... dont know about the Zyban, you should talk to your doctor on that one because it is the same as Wellbutrin (antidepressent) seems that sometimes they can have opposite effect.
I have felt depressed from quitting, on and off but it hits in waves unexpected.
Was thinking about Zyban or some other anti=dopressant myself but figured I would try to tough it out as I am wary of perscriptions.
Alos it seems you are super busy, which is good but you can wear yourself down too and crash. If you can rest a bit too.
actually almost just the opposite... well no ... im not super busy and not just the opposite..
it's mainly at nights for 2 hours tuesday night,
3 hours wednesday night,
2 hours ish thursday night
and maybe 3 hours ish friday night
thats not even a work week lol but it gets me out and keeps me busy enough.
yea, i have been on a couple different antidepressants... but never felt on the edge of life like this!
it's also not crying in waves like you described, or unknown as when...
i pretty much just cry all the time, it's nearly all i can do to get out of bed, and when i do it's almost like id rather get hit by a truck.
it's that bad.
i didn't think it's JUST smoking related... in fact im quite determined to continue quitting, i only slipped yesterday that one smoke, so 1 smoke
and ive now made it to day 6!
1 smoke in nearly a week, id say thats excellent... i haven't had craves either, and it's weird... i really hate SMOKES! my mom died from them, so it helps with not wanting to. i think ill be ok... at least for now, or if im not drinking at a party.
im almost sure it's the anti depressants..
but i wasn't sure if not smoking could bring that on.
i just seriously hate life. i didn't know what it was!
Reading your posts re the Zyban and depression.How long have you been taking it? I think I took it for 3weeks b4 the real depression started,also started to have what my Dr classed as paranoid thoughts. Neeedless to say he took me off it and put a huge 'DO NOT PRESCRBE EVER!' on my medical notes so even if I ever see a different doc the evidence is there in big red letters! I appreciate some people take Zyban and its fine for them. To be honest after smoking for 25yrs I was quite happy to take it - UNTIL the crying stuff started. I first put this down to no longer having nicotine (as zyb\n is nic free) but the depression and crying got worse and worse - then the thoughts started. Thats when I knew I HAD to see the doctor. My husband was away on a business trip in the states leaving me in sole charge of our daughter (13) . I knew if I carried on with the Zyban I would be in no fit state to look after her properly.Unfortunately a couple of days later I began to smoke again. But at the time it was a'lesser of 2 evils'. My doc was soooooooooo
good with me. He knew I still wanted to quit smoking and after alot of research on his part prescibed the champix. After my last exp with pills I was naturally a bit wary but I'd no need. Im into my 4th week of qutting now. I really do think you ought to tell your doc your feelings Hun - in case they start to get worse. Best wishes
