zyban side effects
Is zyban known to cause temporary impotence or erectile dysfunction? I've been on zyban for 4 weeks now and in the last 3 or 4 days i've had trouble with my sex life. Can you help?
Yes, I recently had to "break up" with a best friend. I am 31 years old and we had been friends since we were 10 years old! It hurt and I had sleepless nights over it. She and I just started to grow apart and I just could not identify with her anymore. She wanted so much attention and sympathy from me that I just couldn't keep up with her demands anymore and we finally just got into a really nasty verbal argument (via email!) and that was the end of our friendship. I was supposed to be her matron of honor Saturday at her wedding and I ended up not even attending!! Then she went and told her parents all this nasty stuff about me (I have known them for like 20 years and they are like my parents) and it got to be a really bad situation. She was trying so hard to make me look bad because I have always been close to her family and we have all had mutual respect for each other. Luckily, her Mother and I have been talking about her behavior for the last 8 - 9 months over the phone and her Mom knew I was really fed up with her so it wasn't so bad. Her family is not taking sides but they agree with me and understand how I feel so that has made it a little easier. Funny thing, now that it's over, I actually feel relieved that I don't have to put up with her Bulls%@T anymore! I hope this has helped you. I have been reading this forum for over a year and post very unfrequently but felt the need to respond to you! Don't let it get you down sweetie! God Bless to all. Maryanne
Hi Jules,
I'm sorry you are feeling so hurt and sad about loosing your friend.
I too went through this a while back. My best friend, growing up, and I had a falling out. She had moved down to Florida because she liked it here, with her new boyfriend. They ended up getting married, but her was a bad alcoholic. We just didn't have a whole lot in common anymore, and didn't really see eachother too often. (this has a good ending so hang in there). Anyway, they had a baby, and then she became pregnant again. During her second pregnancy, they decided to separate and then divorce. Well my friend had her husband's parents there to help them with ANYTHING, but she refused there help because she wanted to be controlling, and didn't want them to enjoy her 1st daughter. So instead, whenever she needed help with anything, it was ME that she called. She even called me to pick her up a cake while she was pregnant because she didn't want to drive because she was getting very pregnant. She was taking complete advantage of me, and i drew the line and told her i couldn't do it. We ended our friendship. A year or two later, i had a call from a neighbor of my friends whom i used to work with. My friends husband had hanged himself in their garage. He had a driving accident while drunk and was due to get sentenced that day, but decided to kill himself instead.
I sent my friend a card and told her if she needed me to call.... what a stupid ass i was, i should have gone running as fast as i could and made sure i was there for her, i'll never forgive myself for that. She called me a few years later, i was 8-months pregnant with my (now almost 9-year old daughter), she brought her two girls over, and we never talked about our falling out, and we've been friends ever since.
She now lives in Jacksonville,FL and i live 250 miles south. I just saw her and her, now three girls, for the first time in almost 6-years during 4th of July. She was the one who urged me to get my husband into treatment. She told me no one should suffer like he was suffering. She's known both of us for a long long time. We talk all the time now, so you never know what will happened in the future. She is now going through a second divorce from a man (who is her 3rd child's father). He's a mess, a recovered alcoholic, drug user, but has a lot of mental problems. We went to high school with him back in NJ.
Anyway, maybe things will work out between you and your friend, maybe not right way, but in the near future!
Good luck Jules!

well,,,even when you don't have love per se (if you are talking about remantic love) it will happen when you least expect it..that's how it happened for me....but if it is love in general from friends etc....well I have news for little Milo...you are loved....genuinely loved....by me and the rest of us....write to me and i will send you my number if you need to talk i am here and don't worry about my husband he'll love you too LOL (hey I better be careful there lOL) love cin
What an angel you are. Ole Mr. Milo is feeling kind of rough right now, side effects of the treatments and all, but he's in good spirits, hanging in there, and best of all, halfway through his treatment! Little Milo probably feels the worse of the two! You're so, so right about friends. Unfortunately there are all too few of the true friends around...though I read one person quoted as saying that if he died with one true friend in this world, he'd feel lucky. It's ironic -- some people use drugs because all of their friends are using them...I use drugs to dull the ache of loneliness (friendship and especially love) in my life. Wow, I seem to be in a confessional mood this weekend! Oh, well, I'll be at work tomorrow, tapering from Fioricet to Donnatal, no one the wiser, and nothing changed for the better. Just call me the eternal optimist! Thanks for listening -- Little Milo
You are right,,,,,you will find out...Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart....My dear friend Brighty sent that to me today....and it is so true.....My best friends are my mom, my sister and of course my husband, they will be there forever for me and I for them....Doug is a little different...there are things I can tell him and he just doesn't get it lOL he can't relate to PMS, cramps, bloating LOL and i think i have said this before but since my mom died no one will ever love me like she did,,she was the one to tell me if my haircut was ugly, my jeans were too tight..allthough i have my sister to take care of that for my mom LOL I hope you have a great rest of the weekend and my regards to Mr. Milo.......Love cin
All I can say is, *AMEN*! One way or another you find out who your true friends are. Thank God I have friends, one in particular, who I know will be there for me forever...no matter how much "fair weather friends" may hurt me along the way. And on a personal note, your sharing your experience with your mother has helped me realize what a precious gift our parents are to us (or at least can be.) My relationship with both parents has improved 100%. Thank you (and the rest of my forum angels) for giving me a place to come without fear of judgment or condemnation. -- Milo
