Day 2
Day 2 of Zyban therapy and not much has changed except I have realised I haven't really craved a cigarette and I just smoke from habit. No side effects from medication so far. One more day tomorrow of 1 tablet per day and then it's up to two. It will be interesting to see what happens. Only 12 days to go until Quit Day. I can't wait! (Remind me of this post if I go through withdrawal then :) )
Thanks, Jojie! Day 4 today and on full dose of Zyban. Only 11 cigarettes today so far; so have cut 5. I feel a bit hyperactive after upping the Zyban dose but the same thing happened the first day. The next day I was fine. Looking forward to seeing my GP on Wed. I think she'll be happy with my progress.
Good luck to you. I've used Zyban and I think it has helped. It's still a tough, roller-coaster journey but I think Zyban made it more manageable. Keep checking in here - it's the best.
Today was a bit of a rough start. Woke up @ 5:30am and as I didn't, for the first time, go out to buy cigarettes last so I had some when I woke up, so I had to wait for 2 hours to buy a packet at 7:30am. I had a pretty strong craving for nicotine but I managed it by finding things to do. I swear, I am going to have the cleanest house in the street! Spring cleaning; here I come!
You're doing great! I cut right back to 3 a day before I quit. It definately made the quit feel easier! You'll be fine, stick with it and make sure you smoke your last cigarette the day before quit day and dont buy any more! I threw out all my cigarettes, hid the lighters and emptied all the ash trays, got rid of all the smoking items in my house and car so I dont get tempted! Fingers crossed! Good luck to you!!
