Doctor’s Review
Zylexx SR is often chosen for patients needing both mood support and smoking cessation aid. Compared to some antidepressants, weight gain and sexual side effects are less common. But it isn’t suitable for everyone, especially if there’s a seizure or eating disorder history. Stick to the prescribed dose and always keep your doctor in the loop.
