Common Questions and Answers about Prozac and nicotine
prozac
Jessica Ann I know what you mean, prozac is amazing ;) zarah thank you, although I don't feel brave!
s a special herb that is having an effect on serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter and also have a stimulant adaptogen similar to nicotine and is way safer than Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin can lower the seizure threshold and can have nasty side effects. Wellbutrin action is with the norepinephrine ( adrenaline ) and dopamine neurotransmitter. This is why it is often used as a combo med with other SSRIs.
Since lowering the dose, I have lost some weight and started feeling better until the panic started recently. Would you recommend switching to Prozac instead? I am ALWAYS sleepy with Paxil and have become a real procrastinator - not to mention the short-term memory issues and sexual side effect - which have improved with the lower dosing as well.
I take 40mg prozac,300 wellbutrin xl,xanax and adderol and it never effected my nicotine intake. I find that smoking causes me to shake my leg alot which is really unattractive in my eyes because in a social setting i seem almost anxious when im not my nerves just feel shot. I have an electric cig i think im going to throw my cigs away and try to use the e cig when i have a craving. Any support,advice, or ideas would be greatlyappreciated.
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!!
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?
Okay, yes. I had chest pains that were anxiety related. I do have high blood pressure but have had that for many years. I had a family, extended crisis (my son had a mental health situation that was quite serious and we have dealt with it for over 2 years). I take blood pressure medication but will get chest pain when in an anxiety spiral myself over things. I do deep breathing. I run in place. I talk myself down. I also have high cortisol. This is the stress hormone.
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?
Hi...I suffer (well, my coworkers and boyfriend suffer the most) from PMDD also. I'm almost a month off vikes, and a little more than 2 weeks off the nicotine! I am going through some serious up and down emotions. One minute I'm snapping, crying, then laughing! Most of my moods are high...but when I'm down, I am Down!
also...winter and seasonal affective disorder are kicking my butt.
I know this will all pass..
hi am 39 yr old female i have been smoking for about 20 yes now but like one pk a day , i been dating my female partner that does not smoke but she told me this last time we was together and we kiss she could taste the nicotine and it made her throat to close up , but i would stop smoking like 3 hours before we meet ever time . can nicotine make your throat close up from the taste of it? and how long if i stop smoking for her does nicotine stays in your system?
t function, but if it was just heart palps and not anxiety and even if it was, Prozac is a strange drug to put you on as again it can be stimulating. As for your symptoms, you are describing some pretty classic withdrawal symptoms. Did you quit cold turkey? You might be the rare person whose brain got quickly used to the drug. By the way, those symptoms are also pretty common start-up symptoms when beginning an antidepressant.
I was given 20mg of Lovan 7 months ago, I had the 4 - 6 weeks of dry mouth, increased anxiety, insomnia and jitters but when they subsided the Fluoxetine (Lovan) worked to a certain degree. 7 weeks ago I quit smoking and after 2 weeks anxiety and depression increased again. I returned to the doctor who increase the fluoxetine (Lovan) to 40mg.
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.
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.
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.
I am able to live with my attacks (which can get really bad at times) and I actually have a fear of taking meds. I think the only thing I will take is a child's dose of tylenol only when I have a fever or migrane. I have discovered that taking Vitamin B Complex capsules have helped reduce my stress and anxiety levels. Also, I still love taking Flinstone vitamins, on top of the vit B complex. I feel great when I don't miss out in taking one a day.
