Zyban is an atypical antidepressant. In
your shoes I'd throw out the pills and
stick to the meditation. While
anti-depressants are claimed to not be
addictive physically by the medical
community, those that have taken them
(like myself) can tell you a whole other
story about emotional addiction to
anti-d's, and the terrible "crash" they
had to overcome in order to kick them.
Nicotine is an heavy weight in the
addiction department...helluva thing to
give up, so I can understand anyone's need
to find support in another drug. At the
end of the day however I don't relish the
thought of trading one habit for another.
Careful with the Zyban, it could turn out
to be a devil in disguise. Using
meditation is an wonderful way to help
when the "crave wave hits"....as well as
any form of exercise, hobby...anything, as
long as the hands & mind are kept
busy.
Kudos on your quit!!!....I'm 3 years clean
now and finally able to call myself a
non-smoker instead of a struggling quitter
Hang in!
