Not an expert here lol.

I never took zyban, but took ativan. The ativan is for anxiety disorders, it is addicting. I noticed when I came off ativan the anxiety increased for about 4 - 5 days, then my body began to settle down.

The best thing I found to help was to lay on my stomach and concentrate on my breathing. It calmed me down, and the attack would lessen quite a bit.

Now about the pot. That can cause anxiety, the reason I dont smoke it anymore. It is legal here in cali if you get a medical card. Im not sure if it has interactions with zyban or not, so I really cant say. Hopefully someone will come along that has mucho experience in the area.
