What I can tell you is that as someone who has a crazy schedule I watch late night TV while I stretch on the floor, and there is an advertisement right now for a class action suit for people who took Zoloft and had children with birth defects and other problems. Law firms usually don't get involved unless they think they're going to win or have already won because of a review done of the drug.
So theoretically they become much more expert in it and the interactions between drugs and things like quitting smoking and also in the appropriate drugs to prescribe for a certain condition. Beta blockers, for example, have only been found effective for social anxiety, which doesn't mean they don't work for some people for other things but that's not their main use in anxiety treatment.
hmmm... I guess I don't know if it works the same or not. If I had to guess I would say it doesn't because I have taken Zoloft in the past for depression and I tried to quit smoking while on it (I tried many different times to quit), and I don't think the Zoloft had any effect. Like I said, the only thing that help me quit was Zyban. Maybe you should ask your doctor about why Zoloft was prescribed and not Zyban?
5 mg 4 times a day and the klonopin is 1mg morning .5 lunch, .5 dinner and 1mg bedtime. zoloft started last week at 25mg and now is 50 mg. I built a tolerance for the xanax and now it seems them sames is happening with klonopin. I have a lack of appettite and anxiety. Frankly the stress I had before this regimen was way easier to deal with than all these drugs, side effects and withdrawals. I want to get off everything ASAP and will be talking with my doc about it this week.
I remind myself that years ago I quit smoking and I never thought I could do that. I have never looked back and cannot fathom the idea of smoking a cigarette. I long for the day when I'll feel the same about norco. I'm hoping to lose a few pounds now that I quit the norco. When I took it I would get the munchies and I put on about 8lbs. Anybody else have that experience??
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..
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.
I'm 31 weeks and I just stopped smoking at 29weeks. Will my baby be ok? I need more info on smoking while pregnant.
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.
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.
) i feel so much better not smoking I got lucky that I didn't freak out and was able to quit literally that morning I found out and haven't looked back...never thought that would happen lol happy new year and again good luck:) you can do it!
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.
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.
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.
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!
