OK, so it's Day 2 without the Zyban. There is still no craving for cigarettes (which is good).
What is less good is that there doesn't seem to be any craving for anything else either! SWIJ's libido is currently non-existant, which is unusual and rather alarming. Zyban also makes alcohol taste vaguely weird (which may or may not be a good thing). SWIJ just feels rather "blunted".
Another thing she hadn't really considered (although she spends much of her time in LSD reminding peeps of this very fact) is that Bupropion has effects on serotonin, which means that there's no other fun stuff for quite some time too!
She has felt quite anxious for the last 48 hours. Sort of non-specific/free-floating. She is unsure whether this is related to 1) Life Events, 2) No Libido or 3) Stopping the Zyban (which she has done sooner than recommended).
On the upside: SWIJ and her house no longer stink of tobacco smoke! Her skin is clearer! She's finally managed to get rid of her yellow fingers (although the tooth thing will take a little longer). Not to mention the little jar in the kitchen that now has enough in it to finance at least 2 very extravagant pairs of heels (or a couple of bottles of Krug
)
Don't get her wrong, she realises she's doing well, she just wishes she felt better generally so she could bask in her new found freedom!
