Zyban is a Nicotine free product that helps people kick smoking forever. By reducing the urges people feel to go smoke and the withdraw effects of the Nicotine Zyban helps people quit.

Are you ready to quit smoking? If so Zyban can help. Zyban is a prescription medication that is designed to help people quit smoking without the use of Nicotine.

Zyban works by lessening the urges caused by Nicotine. It also dampens many of the withdraw symptoms smokers feel when they give up the use of Nicotine. Zyban is used while a person is still smoking and then when a person quits all together they continue to use Zyban to over come the addictive affects of Nicotine.

Zyban is unique in that it is one of the few products on the market that can be used in conjunction with the patch for added effectiveness in your attempts to quit smoking.

Bupropion is an antidepressant medication. The exact way that bupropion works is unknown.
Bupropion is used to relieve symptoms of depression such as feelings of sadness, worthlessness or guilt, loss of interest in daily activities, changes in appetite, tiredness, sleeping too much, insomnia, and thoughts of death or suicide. Bupropion is also used to help people stop smoking by reducing withdrawal effects.
Bupropion may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

While you are taking bupropion you may need to be monitored for worsening symptoms of depression and/ or suicidal thoughts at the start of therapy or when doses are changed. This concern about the increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors may be greater if you are 18 years of age or younger and are taking bupropion. In patients younger than 18 years, the period of risk may extend beyond start of therapy or when doses are changed. Your doctor may want you to monitor for the following symptoms: anxiety, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, severe restlessness, and mania (mental and/ or physical hyperactivity). These symptoms may be associated with the development of worsening symptoms of depression and/ or suicidal thoughts or actions. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop any new or worsening mental health symptoms during treatment with bupropion. Do not stop taking bupropion.
Do not stop taking bupropion without first talking to your doctor. It may be several weeks before you begin to feel better, and you may require continuous treatment for quite some time.
Avoid alcohol or drink it only in moderation while taking bupropion. Alcohol may increase the risk of having a seizure while taking bupropion. However, if you usually drink a lot of alcohol, talk with your doctor before stopping. Suddenly stopping may increase the risk of having a seizure. Talk to your doctor about alcohol use before starting treatment with bupropion.

If you are taking Zyban SR to help you stop smoking, a target "quit date" is usually set for the second week of treatment with Zyban SR. Although it is not physically harmful to smoke while taking Zyban SR, continuing to smoke after the date you set to stop smoking will seriously reduce your chance of breaking the smoking habit.
Nicotine replacement products (patches or gum) can be used during treatment with Zyban SR under the supervision of a doctor. Zyban SR and a nicotine replacement product together may raise blood pressure and your doctor may want to check your blood pressure regularly. Do not smoke at any time if you are using a nicotine product along with Zyban SR as this can cause serious side effects from too much nicotine.
The WELLBUTRIN XL tablet is covered by a shell that slowly releases the medicine inside the body. You may notice something in the stool that looks like a tablet. This is normal. This is the empty shell passing from the body.
