clonidine for smoking cessation

hi.....i have never used clonidine but it's suppose to be for high BP and also can be used for anxiety from what i've read. I am on a diff med for high BP. Good luck and hope it works for you! i've read that it helps alot of people calm down thru WDs.

m smoking like 5 to 7 per day or less I really try to save them for morning before bed and the after meals, instead of just smoking for the heck of it... I totaly understand u and I feel the same way too, I'm even embarrassed to be seen doing it and I'm not even showing a baby belly yet.... So don't be so hard on ur self, and just try to really cut down.

It is also a signal that if you do not stop smoking, your lung function will increasingly continue to rapidly deteriorate. That means that smoking cessation is not just the abandonment of a bad habit but a crucial act that will prevent further loss of lung function, reduce the frequency of lung infections, reduce the likelihood of lung (and other) cancers, enhance the quality of your life and extend the length of your life.

You might ask your doctor for Clonidine also. I got awful hot flashes when I quit smoking and this med worked/works wonders and will also help you sleep if that's an issue when you quit. It's just a blood pressure med used off label for opiate w/d, smoking cessation and menopausal hot flashes. I'm still taking it do deal with menopause. See you in a few weeks or so!

After I stopped smoking, I experienced slight nausea and lots of fatigue the first week. So it's possible it's part of the withdraw process. But I don't know about the canker sores or the fever.

Similar rapid decreases in risk with smoking cessation are also seen for ischemic stroke. Benefits from quitting are seen in former smokers even after many years of heavy smoking. Investigations also have demonstrated benefits from cessation for smokers who have already developed smoking-related diseases or symptoms.

I know Zyban is another smoking cessation aide but that is another name for the anti-depressent Wellbutrin and an anti-depressent alone in bipolar can often worsen mania. Those are the two that are clinically approved and in standard use. Others are in experimental use.

Hello, Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion) are the only two non-nicotine medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for smoking cessation; both are available in pill form and only by prescription. Chantix received FDA approval in 2006; Zyban was approved in 1997. These drugs can be effective tools, but users need to be aware of some potentially serious side effects. You can try that and they are very cheap in some pharmacy's.

For me to jus stop smoking cigs at 18 week pregnant when i have been smoking the whole time i have been pregnant and even before find out i was pregnant at 11 weeks?? Will my baby be ok??

Thank you for your answer about research and President Obama. I agree everyone should quit smoking including him! As for myself I successfully quit going on 3 years ago. That doesn't change the condition my lungs are in now. That's the type of research I was talking about. Even a better oxygen delivery system would be great. I only have to use it at night but it's awkward and uncomfortable.

I'm on week 9 of sovaldi/ribavirin for GT. My co-workers are about ready to shoot me. My doc prescribed Clonidine for insomnia and anxiety but it hasn't helped the rage. Thank you, orphanedhawk, for the tips!

I first got diagnosed with hypothyroidism after quitting smoking for 6 weeks in 2012. Since then I am taking LT 158µg/day + 10-15µg T3/day. Now I started another attempt to quit smoking and after two weeks I woke up with numb arms in the morning, was tired all the time, couldn't concentrate and I also had other hypothyroid symptoms. There are many studies out there that show the correlation between thyroid hormones and smoking.

Within two years after smoking cessation, the percentage of hypothyroid cases attributable to cessation of smoking was 85%. Current smoking was not associated with altered risk for developing overt hypothyroidism (OR: 0.92 (0.57-1.48)). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of having overt autoimmune hypothyroidism diagnosed is more than 6 fold increased the first 2 years after cessation of smoking. Clearly smoking cessation is vital to prevent death and severe disease.

I think smoking cessation and weight gain sort of "automatically" go together, just like hypothyroidism and weight gain go together. I quit smoking about 6 years ago and was diagnosed with hypo a year later, though I'm pretty sure I was hypo for a good while before being diagnosed. You may be cutting your calories by too much.

I just read an article today on msnbc talking about vit B-6 deficiencies in smokers and a relationship to lung cancer.

It is not uncommon for a person to develop a productive cough following smoking cessation, as one’s lungs recover and the bronchial tubes are able to clear accumulated “crap” out of the lungs. This can occur just about anytime following smoking cessation and may continue for 6-12 months. That may be what is happening. On the other hand, what you describe may be a sign of infection and may be accompanied by fever, fatigue, malaise and/or loss of appetite.

Based on all this further work up to detect the cause and therapy can be planned. For any lung condition, cessation of smoking would be the first step to prevent damage to the lungs. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Improvement, if it is to occur may not take place for 4-6 months. In most instances the improvement post smoking cessation would best be described as slight or very little. Further, in regard to this question, the greatest benefits from smoking cessation are: 1) less frequent exacerbations including fewer episodes of recurrent acute bronchitis and 2) a significant reduction in the rate of lung function loss.

I've been unwell for a very long time, and my PCPs (and some specialists) haven't been able to help me and never really seemed to take me seriously. I first began feeling unwell around 2013, right around the time I began to be exposed (unknowingly) to black-colored mold behind my shower wall (on the drywall). I didn't discover the mold until probably late 2016. There are other factors, such as smoking and smoking cessation, as well as clonazepam and clonazepam cessation.
