Thirty five days after quitting I can say that this medication WORKS! I have some cravings, but they are controllable. I have no side effects at all. I take it upon waking, both in the morning and after my daily nap, so it doesn't interfere with sleep. I have not eaten as much as the last time I quit cold turkey, so there's less weight gain.

After 3 days of use i got every side effect, extreme dizziness and light headed feeling, anxiety! Almost passed out. Horrible feeling, i recommend other methods of smoke cessation. This is worse than withdrawal.

I had horrible P.D.S.D and I tried to many over few years off and on medication from Zoloft to Prozac and finally managed find something help . It doesn't numb my feelings and I still have emotions and aware without the drama, living normal and can go outside without being paranoid or antisocial . It has made my binged cravings disappear from Sight and lost few lb. It gave me more energy to work out and be a family again this has saved my sanity from being in mental ward because I was overall on edge of crazy . Been 3 months and took 1 month to decrease the mentality. I plan keep taking it in same dosage because if I go higher makes me nervous and sick to my stomach. Feel like the old me is back and plan to stay . I just wish wasn't so expensive because I still pay copayment. I also see a therapist on two month basis to help more .Read More Read Less

Medication tends to work on days where there is little stress. Stressful days, it seems less effective.

I used this drug in addition to Nicoderm Step 1 patches. Do this and you WILL quit. The Buproban takes the edge off, and the patches eliminate the cravings. But just remember, nothing will work if you're not serious about it. You have to want it.

This medication is an assisting medication. It will not eliminate cravings, it will just lessen them somewhat and assist you in resisting smoking while you're having these cravings. You still need some willpower and motivation.

I had a severe allergic reaction to this drug. I had a psychotic episode and was committed to a mental hospital for 3 days. Because of this drug my life was in shambles and my family and friends feared for my sanity. Please don't take this drug. You can find another way.

This saved my life! I am approaching 2 years of non-smoking as of 9/18/08. My son is asthmatic, and even though smoking out doors, he was always on the nebulizer! To my amazement, (and denial), my son has not used the nebulizer in going on 2 full years! Buproban not only saved my life, but saved my son's life too. He is a very healthy 5 year old today! Good Luck!

The most difficult thing for me about this is remembering to take the pill twice a day, eight hours apart, as well as not too close to the time I go to sleep. It is much easier to quit smoking with this prescription. I would recommend it to anyone!

I used this without serious side affects. A bit of weird dreams but that was all. I quit smoking for almost a year but started again. I am starting again and have no doubts about using this drug.
