Has anyone taken Champix or Zyban to give up smoking?

Apparantly the black triangle has been lifted on people with mental health issues taking these. Going to ask GP. Anyone taking or taken these?

I tried zyban. It gave me suicidal ideation.

I used champix successfully. Didn’t even finish the course and gave up a pack a day habit just like that. Was suprisingly easy.

Did you use something?

Were you asking me? If so, no!
I was vaping for 2 years and my tank busted on me one night. The vape shops were all closed at that time. So I stayed a night without it…then another and another. Was getting more motivated each day. It’s a bit hard for a few months but then it gets easier and easier

Zyban gave me horrible headaches.

I think stimulant meds don’t mix well with APs, but that’s just my opinion. You’re better off just drinking coffee or something.

My husband tried Chantix to quit smoking.

He turned into a total monster.

Had to quit.

He smoked for another couple years and then stopped smoking by using the nicotine gum.
