Talk to your doctor and quit the Zyban. At some point you have to throw
away the crutch, and you've been on it plenty long. I do have experience
with this.

I am afraid, though, that because I have taken it that I may be forever
banned from piloting an airplane. Or maybe I have to be off the Zyban
for like 60 days and I'd pass with flying colors... But, if I go in
after 59 days, I'll get a big FAILED stamp put on the exam, which would
forever disqualify me from getting a sport pilot license (If that's all
I can get) -- or maybe even disqualify me from getting ANY license.

Unless there is an AME here, I doubt anyone can answer "how long" you
have to be off it. That's why the membership cost of AOPA is worth it.
They can answer questions like this. Some (of course not I)might say
that if you have been off the drug for a couple of weeks and are not
suffering any ill effects, why even report previous use? It's not like
it's an illegal drug. But spend the $39 for AOPA.
