Avatar f tn You smoke while taking the med the first week and then you stop smoking, but continue the medicine. After the first week you will notice the cravings are mental but not so much physical. You can google "chantix" and you can learn more about it. I am 30 and have smoking since 12, it's the hardest habit to break. I tried chantix and felt it working, the cigarettes actually started to make me feel a little ill.
Avatar f tn Trying to help my Gf stop smoking from sometime, succeeded in eliminating her smoking habit, she tries to take from time to time but very low amounts like 1 or 2 per week after she was smoking up to 15 per day for 10 years. Bought her Tabex recently to help stop nicotine forever. What are your experiences about this medicine and does it really make a big difference after taking only one box(100tablets) in 21 days to a month period?

7773990 tn?1400728625 I want to say there is more nicotine in an e cgis but not certain. Just try to wien yourself off. When my mother in law attemoed to stop smoking I always saw her with an unlit cigarette in her mouth that she would puff on. It seemed to work for her. I'm sure it's still not good for you but better than actually inhaling the smoke. Hope this help, good luck. You can do it!!
Avatar n tn What type of medicine goes on the buttocks on a patch for men?? I dont know what the problem is, but i saw it on a friend and dont want to ask??
Avatar f tn after a week, you will notice the cravings have stopped quite a bit and you stop smoking, but continue to take the medicine....you can find out more about it by looking up chantix in the google search engine or whatever engine you use. The reason I couldn't stop smoking was I didn't have medical insurance and the cost is pretty high for the medicine. I just couldn't afford to refill the medicine the second time....

Avatar m tn is it dangerous for me? should i use medicine or get a diet?
Avatar f tn I started getting ready to stop smoking about 5yrs ago. I decided not to smoke in my car anymore. I suffer from anxiety, so I'm never away from the house for more than 2hrs max and I figured I could at LEAST go without a cigarette that long. At the time, I felt like this alone was an enormous accomplishment and it helped me to start thinking like a non-smoker, I had been a smoker for 33yrs before I quit last July.
Avatar m tn If you been taking the medicine for a week or two and now starting to experiences head pains, yes its probably a trigger from the medicine. Just stop taking it for a couple of weeks to see if the feeling go away. Besided, you don't need that to stop smoking.

595141 tn?1239971814 Hi I quit smoking 6 weeks ago. I had smoked for 9 years (yes i was a young starter) When I tried to quit before I found it really difficult coz it felt like I was missing out on something (if that makes sense?) then a friend told me about this book called Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Be a Happy Non-smoker for the Rest of Your Life. I read it and that really helped me. Its hard to explian but if you read it with an open mind it will work.
Avatar f tn I know how hard it is to stop smoking. I smoked since i was 11 and quit for my kids when i was 24 and i swore i would never touch one again..hated the smell..couldnt stand been around anyone who smoked..hated seeing ppl in the street smoking. Then one night whilst on holiday with family i got very drunk and had a cigarette and from that moment i slipped back into it so easily..i smoked every day for another cpl of month and then i found out i was pregnant with baby no4.
Avatar n tn I've just found out I'm 5 weeks and am really struggling to stop smoking is there anything i can use to help thats safe?
Avatar n tn Zyban is a very effective medicine to help stop smoking. You need to take it for 10-14 days before it starts to work, so pick a date - say 2 weeks away - that you want to quit smoking, and start taking the Zyban immediately. Zoloft is NOT used for smoking cessation - Zoloft is almost exclusively used for depression, though sometimes it can be used for chronic pain as the pain often depletes the body's ability to deal with stress.
Avatar m tn I know someone who had a similar problem. He had headaches instead of a "crushing" sensation, that was from smoking way too much weed. He ended up seeing a psychiatrist who did indeed put him on a antidepressant. I'm sorry I don't know which one it is exactly. He did stop smoking the weed. His headaches are gone. He isn't sure if it's from stopping the weed, the medicine, or a combination of both though!
Avatar m tn i know is silly question , everybody should stop smoking , but with the medication the feel of smoking go away?
Avatar f tn my doc says that it can be partially reversed with the medicine and stop smoking but im not sure. is she right? will i be on this medicine for the rest of my life? and how long can you live with emphysema? please someone talk to me. im so scared. im too young to die.please help me.
Avatar n tn I know this is going to sound trite, but you CAN stop smoking if you truly WANT to. I used to feel just like you, do a Rip Van Winkle and sleep through the cravings and withdrawals. I can't tell you how many times I gave into that crave just 15 minutes after I said that this was my last one! That's because I really didn't want to quit. After smoking for 40 years and using an inhaler for the last 5 of my smoking years, I decided that it was time.
Avatar n tn I'm sorry, but smoking weed while pregnant is a 100% selfish thing to do. Plenty of women get through the morning sickness just fine without it. The baby will get nutrients that they need from prenatal vitamins and from what you have in your body. Eat saltines and drink ginger ale. I got by on really cold fruit and crackers. Just because there are babies that are lucky enough to be born without and issues due to smoking pot doesn't mean it's fool proof.
Avatar m tn As to a heart-healthy diet, if you smoke, stop. Smoking almost is a guarantee that you will have heart trouble. Stay away from fast foods like burgers, etc. It is a huge topic, and one best addressed by a dietician. Keep us informed.
