Stop smoking

I am taking Zyban to stop smoking and i have been feeling?

Sick, light headed and have pains in my arms, chest and back. Should i stop taking it and has anyone else had these symptoms.

EDIT: ** rare side effect can cause chest pain!! **
see below!!

Some of the sickness and light headedness may be from quitting smoking – depending on how long it has been. Zyban has the same main ingredient as Wellbutrin which is a common anti-depressant that is usually very safe and very low in any side effects. Of course, side effects depend on the person and vary person to person and the pains in your chest, back and arms would concern me. Most people I know on this med have not had bad side effects but yours are listed so I would either stop it or call the ER # for your dr now and ask them what to do.

The main side effect of Zyban are : dizziness***, joint and muscle pain, dry mouth, jitters, rash, insomnia, change in appetite (usually less) , agitation & headaches. So – the sickness and light headedness could also be from the medication it sounds like.

I do know that using this med along with a patch can raise your blood pressure too much – which may cause other negative effects on your body but many use them together – but I just read on a site that you need to discuss it with your doctor if you plan to do this – don’t know if this applies to you or not.

I would call your doctor as you should not stop any medication suddenly without talking to a dr. Sometimes it is not safe to just stop a medication suddenly – most antidepressants should be weened off of and while you are not taking it for this reason, it is the same exact ingredient ~ bupropion.

I did take Welbutrin for some time and it made cigarettes taste horrible (guess that is why they released it as Zyban ) but I had this urgent need to pee – so I had to stop taking it..

I would call the emergency number for the office of the doctor who prescribed it for you – just in case.

This is who should NOT take it – do any of these apply to you?:
Who shouldn’t use Zyban?

People with a history of eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.
People already taking Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR or medications that contain buproprion hydrochloride.
People who have taken or are taking monoamine oxidize inhibitors (MAOI) medication for depression.
People with severe cirrhosis of the liver
People with a seizure disorder such as epilepsy. Bupropion hydrochloride can cause seizures in 1 in every 1000 people

Here are some less common side effects ~ sorry to make answer so long but wanted to make sure you got all of this info in case you didn’t have it already:
These are generally mild and usually disappear after a few weeks. If you have difficulty sleeping, avoid taking Zyban close to bedtime and ask your doctor about reducing your dosage.

More common side effects may include:
Abdominal pain, abnormal dreams, anxiety, constipation, diarrhea, disturbed concentration, dizziness********, joint pain, increased cough, itching, nasal inflammation, nausea, nervousness, rash, sore throat

Less common side effects may include:
Abnormal thinking, allergic reaction, bronchitis, changes in taste, difficulty breathing, dry skin, fever, hives, hot flashes, increased appetite or loss of appetite, increased blood pressure, migraine, mouth ulcers, muscle pain, neck pain, nosebleed, ringing in the ears, shakiness, sinus inflammation, sleepiness, throbbing heartbeat

Rare side effects may include: ***********************
Chest pain, feeling of unhappiness, thirst, swelling of the face

Hope you feel better Congrats on quitting!
