Avatar m tn 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.

Current smoking was not associated with altered risk for developing overt hypothyroidism (OR: 0.92 (0.57-1.48)).

Avatar f tn You at least have chronic bronchitis, may have asthma and may be developing the permanent lung damage that leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). You must stop “torturing” your lungs. I urge you to seriously consider smoking cessation and suggest that you contact the national quit line at (800) QUIT NOW (784-8669). Also work with your doctor for encouragement and pharmacologic therapy that will make quitting easier.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Second, I know you are not asking for a lecture on all the risks of what smoking could do to the health of your baby but definitely ask your Doctor what smoking cessation programs are available to you.

467579 tn?1289402969 In the meantime, you and other smokers should take advantage of currently available medicines and state-sponsored, smoking cessation programs.
