Avatar f tn t know if I should start taking this drug if it is dangerous for me when combining pot and bupropion. I am 17 and 130 lbs if that would help for anything and am taking a dosage of 150 mg of bupropion. I just want to make sure nothing dangerous will happen if I do smoke, or how much I can smoke, or if there is anything I can do to lower risk of danger like not taking the drug on the days I smoke.

Avatar n tn 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..) Good luck stopping smoking! I'm sure you will feel better!
1342640 tn?1276181928 so my basic question is, which anxiety meds would be preferable for a patient who plans on, and intends to continue smoking after medication? i also take Advair 250/50 and Allegra D 12 hour (not sure which dosage), if that needs to be taken into consideration.

Avatar f tn So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Good for you for quitting. When you quit, i've heard the lungs go through an adjustment phase, more phelgm might be produced as the lungs heal. Even though you have a nicotine replacement, your body is detoxing from all the other chemicals in a cigarette, this slows you down. I wouldn't sweat 2 minutes, your body will bounce back soon.
Avatar n tn m miserable and I think its all smoking related. The doctor thinks theres no relation between quitting smoking and constipation. I think he needs to go back to med school.

806553 tn?1238141780 I am a shamed of myself. I've started smoking again, I just couldn't stand the mood it was putting me in and my family. I was really terrible with them. One min am happy and the next am ready to snap their heads off. They're still young so i couldn't explain to them what am going through. I will make an app with doc and get help. I can't do it cold turkey it's unfair on my kids and my partner.
Avatar f tn I only smoke a max of 5 a day and today i had one this morning and nothing since. Its been over 12 hrs and the cravings have just become unbareable i am getting snappy with everyone and extremy emotional. And tips on helping with these cravings besides food.....
Avatar f tn I've had different advice from different doctors. I had a high risk specialist at one point tell me cutting down was fine and to stop when I was ready. I was also going through a very messy breakup with my girls father so he said the stress of quitting plus that was more dangerous. But my OB/GYN said I can quit whenever and it wouldn't harm the baby. Eventually I listened to my body and natural instincts instead of other people and i quit cold turkey at around 15 weeks.
Avatar f tn i just read how mother is in rehab because shes a heroin addict she found out at two months and decided rehab amd is trying to get better and u cant quit smoking!! u mam are ****** selfish.

Avatar f tn I am trying to quit smoking now that I'm pregnant and was wondering if anyone has tried the patch or vaping as an alternative? I want to be sure that it's safe.
Avatar f tn I'm sure everyone's different of course. I've smoked for 9 years now. And my doctor told me defiantly don't quit cold turkey. It can cause a miscarriage. As the previous person said. I cut back a lot but have continued smoking this whole pregnancy. I'm 37 weeks now. And my baby girl is healthy and a big baby! After smoking for 1 year, I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my first at 6 weeks. She was born healthy at 39 weeks 6 days.
Avatar f tn I feel healthier and can breath better. By quitting my baby has a better start and it will have more oxygen while in the womb. My husband quit this time too. I will be your support buddy. It took 1 week. I would smoke a Quater of a cigarette and come back in I finally got down to 1 a day and said the heck with it. And just didn't smoke the first 3 days I craved the most and would tell myself it's not my body anymore it's my little one I have to think of.
Avatar f tn I was a big smokerrrrr before I got pregnant I slowed down a lot when I found out when I was about 3 months along I stopped buying them if I wanted one I would just take a drag off my husbands then I would be ok I also lived on carrots and celery I would back a Baggie before I got in the car to go anywhere and would munch on that because my biggest issue was smoking while I drive and now I'm 35 weeks and don't have the urge or want at all they actually disgust me!
