Smoking is considered by many to be one of the most difficult habits to quit. Everyone knows how nicotine replacement techniques help someone quit. Patches and nicotine gum are two of the most popular nicotine replacement treatments. It's also important to have group support when going through this. It's also important to consider other treatment options. Sometimes these other options won't necessarily treat the addiction to nicotine, but they will treat a person's overall well being, which in turn can help someone quite smoking. One such treatment option is Zyban.



Zyban (or bupropion) is an extended-release antidepressant that can help reduce the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. While most patches and gums contain nicotine, Zyban does not. Chemicals in your brain that are related to nicotine craving are affected by Zyban. It's recommended that you should start taking it around 1 or 2 weeks before you quit. This way you're insured that it will be in our system.



It should not be taken of you use alcohol heavily, have serious head injuries, have anorexia, are bipolar or are prone to seizures. It may also be recommended that you use Zyban in conjunction with other smoking treatments. Like with any drug, be sure you consult your doctor before you start taking it. He'll be able to advise you if Zyban is right for you.



No matter which method you decide to use, make sure you try to quit as soon as possible. Who knows? Maybe Zyban can help you quit smoking for good. Your health is worth it.
