I took Zyban for 11 days in January. 7th day in had the feeling someone had put electrodes on my neck. Nearly fell out of my chair.
1 day later, started getting v confused.
7 days later totally lost it. couldnt understand speech or the written word. Laster 1 month
2 weeks later, lost my sight, I could see but it was all jumbled up.
6 months later I can see a little better, it isnt jumbled up but I cant see in 3d I cannot tell what is in the foreground or the background.
I have seen a specialist ( neurologist ) and a few doctors. To start with, I was treated with scepticism. Finally now, the doctors are agreeing with me, and reporting that I am not the only person affected in this way.
I spend all my time waiting to get better.
Until this time I was a succesful musician,
now Im unable to leave my house unattended.
Zyban, its your choice. Sadly noone told me this was one of the risks.
