Hi Brickwall, There are other forms of medication similar to Zyban and they work much in the same way. There are the lozenges which work much like the gum but it's in "candy" form. There's also hypnotism, acupuncture amd herbal therapies. The reason people are on the medication or the NRT's for more than a hundred days is because they need to slowly come off these therapies to avoid withdrawals. Hope this answers some of your questions. Danielle ________________________________ The SSC Support Team

Hi Zyban I tired Zyban last Sept, had to stop as I didn't stop smoking and it mad my depsression after lsoing Mum in June even worse and gave me sleepless nights and when I say sleepless that is what they where I became a walking nervous wreck - so it packed them in. Now on patches and doing ok, infact I have just realised I should have changed my patch two hours ago. I wondered what the other NRT were that get mentioned on here such as wellbutine and what laser treatment they also have Joanne [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 32 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 817 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �160 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

Hi Brickwall, My husband and I had what they call "cold laser therapy" here in the US and it's sort of like accupuncture with no needles. They use what looks like a pen light and touch the outer part of your ear, wrist and nose on both sides of your body. It painless and takes only about 15 minutes a session. You can Google stop smoking and laser therapy and look at their Q & A (Questions & Answers) if you want to know more. Of course, now that you have 31 days, Joanne, you're well on your way without spending the $300 USD. Totally great for you!

Hi Brick Wall, Luton (sorry), England calling, From what I can gather we can get more over the counter than our American friends can. I'm on Zyban, (hence the name :eg:) and have been for the last 3 months, one a day in the morning. I could kill you as soon as look at you because today is day 6 cold turkey for the first time EVER without lozenges, sublingual tablets, nicorette gum etc and I am chewing Airwave gum like there is no tomorrow and my stupid peanut brain is expecting its' nicotine reward which aint going to happen and I am a tad irritated. DID YOU GUESS?? Sorry for venting and venting and venting! Must go and kick something :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 79 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,589 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �197.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 10 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

Hi Brick Wall, Not sure what the laser treatment is, perhaps someone else can help with that one. The Americans call our Zyban Welbutrin (or we call their Welbutrin Zyban!), our Nicorette or Nicotinell lozenges they call Commit, I don't know if they have the sublingual microtabs that we do, both sides of the pond use the gum and patches and hypnotism and acupuncture. Most NRT therapies say you should use them for 3 months and then gradually wean yourself off them hence the 100 days etc. You are doing well on the patches, 32 days! Also well done Kiwi! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 79 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,594 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �197.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 10 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16
