Indications for use of Zyban.
Bupropion(Zyban®) is a medicine that was first
developed to treat depression.
Bupropion(Zyban) is an antidepressant,
but it has been found to help people stop smoking.
My best bet looks like Zyban, a mild antidepressant that weans you from nicotine dependence.
If you want to stop smoking,
taking bupropion(trade name Zyban®) roughly doubles your chance of success.
And while Xenova's David Oxlade panned Zyban, my wife mentions that it has helped many of her patients.
Zyban helps tame the craving, but, like
most antinicotine aids, it's a temporary crutch, some spare ammunition, a balm for the beginner.
The majority of people who
have quit at 3 months on treatments such as Zyban are smoking again within a year," Oxlade says.
THE FACTS: Research suggests that nicotine replacement therapies and
the prescription stop smoking tablets(Champix and Zyban) can double
and sometimes even triple your chances of successfully quitting.
