I had a rather odd experience with Zyban, myself.. When I first started taking it, it acted kinda like a mild stimulant, and made my head feel strange.
This continued until around the fifth day or so, when I went into a state of highly alert, very stimulated (in a not-so-good way). It was like this for a few days, would be awake for 15-16 hours, take a one hour nap, and be good for another 15-16 hours. My body didn't like this much.
9th day, I had what might be considered a panic attack, or maybe an emotional breakdown, or something very, very odd and annoying. I thought I was going insane. Breaking down inside a supermarket is a bad thing.
10th day, came down off the high, and it's been smooth sailing ever since. I'm kinda "up" for 3-4 hours after taking one now, but then I feel perfectly normal.
Havn't been smoking, either. No cravings.. Thought of a cigarette seems very disgusting to me right now.. It's very odd. As a nice perk, it seems to be making me less irritable, as well.
Yay! :)
