Could This New Drug Be the Breakthrough Which Helps Me Stop Smoking?
Unlike every other method of beating the weed, use of the new miracle drug buproprion hydrochloride (which has the proprietary name Zyban in some countries) begins before you stop.
This controversial stop smoking aid - which is also known by the drughouse names Wellbutrin and Wellbutrin S - is used in tandem with counselling sessions.
It is of huge benefit to the smoker who really wants to quit but who is battling with other challenges too - for example, depression.
In fact, Zyban was first developed as an antidepressant. However, doctors soon noticed that patients being treated with ibuproprion hydrochloride quickly lost interest in smoking.
In clinical trials this wonder drug has been conclusively shown to be very effective in helping motivated but anxiety-ridden smokers to beat the tobacco habit.
Doing It MY Way!Natural Ways to Stop Smoking Ok. This is it! You've made up your mind to quit smoking and you're going to stick to it. Good for .....
Perhaps "new" is technically a misnomer, since Zyban has been medically available as a smoking treatment since 1998.
Nonetheless, in many countries it is almost unheard of, and it will certainly be "new" to many victims of the tobacco curse.
Zyban apparently works by affecting brain chemistry, but doctors don't yet fully understand why it has the effects that it does.
When taking this treatment, people feel energized. Oftne they feel on top of the world. The effects generally are very soothing and smokers being helped by Zyban experience a sense of well-being. Not a side-effect to be sneezed at!! Especially if you're feeling a bit down, and have trouble finding the motivation to stop because of that.
Treatment with Zyban begins while you're still smoking. Your counsellor will help you to choose Your Quitting Date, and you'll start your course of this miracle drug 7 days before that. Treatment lasts 7 to 10 weeks. Former smokers report that symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are very mild, or non-existent.
Although the manufacturer reports that Zyban can be used safely for long periods of time, prolonged use isn't really any more helpful.
Just as with hypnotherapy and a variety of other methods, this drug treatment only works for those who do want to stop smoking at the core level. For treatment to be most effective the desire to stop smoking has to come from within and be strongly felt.
Where this treatment stands head and shoulders above the rest, however, is in assisting people to stop who do really want to quit, but are just under too much pressure from a variety of sources to be able to give up the habit sucessfully without extra help.
There are many such sufferers and it is a real pleasure to be able to bring Zyban to their attention.
