James -- the only thing about Zyban (bupropion, Wellbutrin) is that it is in a class of its own. It's different than the SSRIs, so I'm not sure other ADs could be used interchangeably for quitting smoking. I wish someone would do a study, though, because everyone's complaining about the high cost of Zyban, and wouldn't it be nice if a cheaper AD would work? Terry
> > Ruth -- I don't know about birth control pills increasing libido. The thing about monophasic vs. triphasic pills increasing libido sounds like a marketing ploy by one of the drug companies to me.

The same goes for Zyban...it seems to be the only one studied for stoping smoking but from the reports I read it would seem any AD should work. There is nothing "special" about Zyban other than its AD effect in stoping smoking.
