Zyban: Cravings Pass Quickly
by Patricia Surrey
Brooklyn, New York
United States
I started out on Zyban, which acts on the nervous system calming
the cravings while at the same time weakening the habit. But I
was allergic and had to come off it after just two weeks. But I
had quit after the first week and I was amazed that I was able to
do it cold turkey! One thing that was very helpful to know was
that the cravings will pass in 5 to 7 minutes even if you don't
act on it. I had a fear that I was too weak and never really
tried. I was afraid of the pain, the withdrawl. I didn't want
to have to go through that. But it wasn't so bad! I also didn't
want to be a failure. If I quit and went back that was how I'd
feel. I'd rather be a smoker than a failure. Well, I did quit
on April 24th 1999. More than a year now and feeling strong!
