smoking
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.
1) less frequent exacerbations including fewer episodes of recurrent acute bronchitis and 2) a significant reduction in the rate of lung function loss. That is, lung function continues to go down but much slower than it would were you to continue smoking and, in some instances the rate of loss may eventually (several years later) approximate that of non smokers.

I've talked to the lady that assists me with WIC, even though I don't smoke. And what she said makes sense. Her personal opinion on the matter is that, even if you do smoke, It's recommended to still breast feed. Because even though you're taking in the bad things from the cigarettes, the baby is still getting amazing nutrients that it wouldn't get if you bottle feed. It's your decision, in the end though. Many people feel very differently than this, and that's okay.
Wellbutrin is the version of bupropion often prescribed and intended to treat depression, while Zyban is used for smoking cessation. (Though some Docs prescribe Wellbutrin to help stop smoking too..)"
Actually...zyban is wellbutrin...but in a smaller dosage, wellbutrin is for depression & they discovered it supposedly had an effect on addictive tendencies. I can't take wellbutrin, it gives me panic attacks....sigh....
I do take zoloft for depression...and no..
There's a prescription medication used for smoking cessation called Chantix. It's helped many people stop smoking. It has some benefits to some opiate addicts for craving control as well. That's the only way I'd try to stop smoking so soon after stoping the opiates.
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.
I have recently been approved by VA for a chantix prescription, and expect to start the cessation program within days. I've been told that a recent medical study indicates that a male of my age, 66, incurs decreased longevity by quitting smoking after 50 years addiction. can someone direct me to such a study, or advise if I've been misled?
You don't have to monitor your levels every week during the smoking cessation process... I'm sure there's going to be some discomfort, but we've all (those who have quit smoking) gone through discomfort with both the smoking cessation AND being hypo until we got to the correct level of medication.
my wife is taking bupropion sr 150 mg to quit smoking and wants to know if cold medication can be taken while on this drug.
wellbutrin is not indicated in the cessation of smoking marijuana, but it does increase your chances of seizure if you drink alcohol while taking it. also, smoking, i think it actually either helps with the cessation of anxiety in anxious peoples or adds anxiety on non anxious people so if you are smoking to chill out (just a guess), you might want to try anti-anxiety meds instead.

The source is an article in the Ladies Home Journal, April 2010, pg67 that states the high success rate of these two nicotine replacement therapies are used in conjugtion to combat nicotine addiction. It was used by expert Southard in a smoking cessation support group. I was hoping to get some input from both professionals and patients alike about their use of both Chantix and the patches to quit smoking permanently.
