Well, a little bit off the subject...
SNIP
So, I'm not questioning (much), the blanket policy.
All I really want to know is what is my best course of action so I can
get my license.
I probably rambled on too much defending myself, which is probably not
really necessary. I just hope we can keep the conversation on track. 
I'd check with the doc about stopping Zyban...seven months seems more than
long enough, but doc may want you to taper off.
Contact FAA Aeromedical in OKC and ask what amount of time you should wait
after stopping the medication before going in for your physical.
If you're unable or unwilling to ask FAA anonymously, go to AOPA and ask
there. You'll get a straight answer from current AME's who have good
information.
Best of luck with your training!
