Avatar n tn I have never heard of nicotine making you impotent. Nicotine has a short half life - about two hours. You can do the math from there.

Avatar f tn When I stopped smoking I went looking for nicotine withdrawal symptoms on the Internet because I was having panic attacks and I found out that nicotine does in fact have an effect on some meds. Of course, smoking also causes anxiety you know. If you google nicotine interactions, I think you will find the answer you're looking for. Good Luck!!
Avatar f tn I am going in for Bariatric Surgery and I am suppose to be nicotine free for 2-3 months prior to Surgery. I have slipped a few times and am wondering if the blood test would detect my slip ups from 2 weeks ago. I have been flushing my system with water and did a detox/cleanse kit from GNC to help. Also, if you are with people who are heavy smokers (my parents) and I don't smoke with them, would their nicotine/smoke get into my system that would screw up a nicotine blood test?
1541754 tn?1294331420 ADHD researchers have known for a long time that lots of adults with ADHD are heavy (often VERY heavy, actually) smokers. The drug in cigarette smoke, Nicotine,is a stimulant drug kind of like Dexedrine. So smoking is a way for people with ADHD to self-medicate their symptoms. Like Dexedrine, the nicotine you inhale in tobacco smoke makes you feel better; for example more alert and focussed and "calm" - less anxious, restless and impulsive and so on.
Avatar m tn I'm having some blood work done that will include a glucose test. The requisition form includes instructions to fast for 12 hours prior to the test, but does not mention anything about tobacco use, and I do unfortunately smoke. Perhaps to be safe I should abstain from smoking as well as food prior to the test, as nicotine could affect my blood glucose levels. But on the other hand, doesn't *nicotine withdrawal* also affect blood glucose levels?
Avatar n tn It may be due to lack of foreplay before intercourse, medical conditions such as vaginusmus and pelvic pain, vaginitis, anxiety regarding performance, low estrogen levels, inflammation and infections of vagina, menopause and drugs such as narcotics, tranquilizers, nicotine, alcohol and sedatives. I feel that pelvic examination by a gynecologist along with cervical swabs and hormone studies are necessary.

Avatar f tn i have blood work on the 21/dec /11 and how long does it take to get nicotine out of ur system before the bloodwork
Avatar f tn If they detect traces of something, can I claim I occasionally used a patch and/or nicotine gum, and get away with it? or would the nicotine from patches/gum show up differently in this test?
Avatar f tn 3 month ago I tried quitt smoking using an electronic cigarette and a liquid containing propylen glychol, high dose of nicotine(aprox. 18 mg) and alchool. After I started smoking this for 2 days I have begun havin anxiety, bizzare thoughts(very bizzare) wich I could control them but they were wery uppseting to me, I couldn,t sleep or eat properly and I had a allergy on my neck.
Avatar m tn I am 25 yrs old and consider myself a non-smoker. Just recently I had some blood drawn and urinalysis for employment purposes. About 4-5 days prior to the tests, my friend was Vaping (those electronic cigs) and offered me to try his new flavor. So I took a handful of puffs, not thinking about it. About 20 mins later it dawned on me that those still contain nicotine.
Avatar f tn Once you are addicted to nicotine one perceives that it calms them, when in reality they are getting their "fix" of nocotine which is addicitve. Not having something you're addicted to will cause anxiety, and when you get what you want of course you're calmer. I wouldn't expect this to be the same with a casual smoker.
497868 tn?1212223282 However if used in higher than recommended doses for long periods of time, you will become and remain addicted to the nicotine just as happens with cigarettes and, to a significant degree defeat the purpose of the gum. Your note suggests that you are committed to quitting. That commitment will go a long way towards your smoking cessation being successful and permanent. Your sleep disturbance is probably a nicotine withdrawal effect.
1588890 tn?1297073916 s a month ago, Percocet 10 for breakthru and Lyrica for my Fibro. I am trying to quit smoking and HATE that gum! Was thinking about the patch but was wondering if it was safe to have both on? Any suggestion?
669746 tn?1228599145 I have been smoking since I was 12 also and now i am 27 and still cant quit even though I have bad health anxiety and what does smoking do????....Causes cancer and other bad illnesses. Kinda ironic isnt it that I worry about my health constantly but yet I smoke a pack a day. I am going to try those quest cigs..I need to quit also!!! let me know how you are doing!
Avatar f tn He told her that if she was not going to be able to quit cold turkey, which was obviously best, then it would at least be better to get the nicotine through replacement therapy rather than a cigarette as it would cut down on all of the other toxins and blood gas changes. That was 5 years ago, and things change, and every Dr. has their own permissions, so please call and ask them. As an ex-smoker I know it's very very difficult to quit.
4041138 tn?1349580463 Hello, Such vaginal tears may be due to vaginal dryness which may be due to lack of foreplay before intercourse, medical conditions such as vaginusmus and pelvic pain,vaginitis,anxiety regarding performance,low estrogen levels,inflammation and infections of vagina,menopause and drugs such as narcotics, tranquilizers, nicotine, alcohol and sedatives. I feel that pelvic examination by a gynecologist along with cervical swabs and hormone studies are necessary. Please get it done.
Avatar n tn It may be due to lack of foreplay before intercourse, medical conditions such as vaginusmus and pelvic pain,vaginitis,anxiety regarding performance,low estrogen levels,inflammation and infections of vagina, and drugs such as narcotics, tranquilizers, nicotine, alcohol and sedatives. First of all, indulge in foreplay before intercourse and use some lubricants like such as KY jelly, or moisturizers, such as Replens or Senselle or vaginal estrogen creams.

5793136 tn?1375294504 From what I've read things like alcohol and nicotine and medicine etc all pass through breast milk.. do you'd probably want to either not smoke or formula feed. But I'd definitely do some research or ask your doctor. I was unable to breast feed my son six years ago so I'm just going off things I have read since then.
Avatar f tn E cigs dont help unless they have nicotine and honestly its harmful for the babe
Avatar n tn 1) Nicotine patches and nicotine gum are available over-the-counter. The nicotine nasal spray and nicotine inhaler are currently available only by prescription from a doctor. 2) These products provide a small amount of nicotine that will help relieve many of the withdrawal symptoms that a smoker may feel when quitting. 3) The goal is to be free of both cigarettes and the nicotine substitute within three to six months.
Avatar n tn This means that the drug binds to the nicotine receptor and activates it, but not completely. Because stopping nicotine causes withdrawal symptoms, it seems reasonable to assume that stopping Chantix might also cause similar symptoms. However, because the drug does not fully activate the nicotine receptors, Chantix withdrawal is expected to be less severe, or it may not occur at all.
