TestE Winnie & Zyban (please help)?

[Cyber-Spike]

Hi folks, could really do with some advice after spending a considerable amount of time trying to answer this question from my usual sources - without success!

I'm in the UK and just been prescribed Zyban from the docs, to help me quit smoking (I know b4 anyone says it, just STOP!) but usually it comes from non-smokers, so anyone who's struggled to give up like me may sympathise?

I'm about half way through a cycle right now; 500mg TestEnan/week and Winnie shots EOD, have about 6 weeks left to go, but I would like to start the Zyban coarse as soon as possible; so it's a question of coming off cycle now, or consider taking the Zyban whilst continuing the cycle?

I know it's not a good idea to run any medication you don't have to whilst on but does anyone know if this is an OK thing to do with Zyban or a strict DO NOT! I understand there may be an increased risk of seizures but also understand that this is from systemic steroids (cortisol), not AAS's

Any info, links, advice would be greatfully received, thank for your time guys.

Regards,

Steve

You'll be fine if you take the Zyban. No drug interactions and you 'll probably feel better overall....eventually.

Zyban is also known as Welbutrin, its actually an anti-depressant. As sad as it to say this, I know more than a few AAS users who are also on anti-depressants. The Zyban will not interfere with your cycle, but will help your mood. Gratz on making the move to quit smoking, I hope you stay with it. Plus quiting during cycle helps increase your appetite, and that is a good thing.

Best of luck to you mate!
