FamblyRus Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I just heard about this new drug yesterday. My sil has tried most everything else and this finally seems to be working for him. Has anyone here on Hadit tried this med to stop smoking? Does the VA allow it? Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betrayed Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I can't say about the VA. Jessie My cardiologist told me I could get it but I have to try wellbutrin and the patch first, wellbutrin is the anti depressant I take, it never helped me want to stop, I am using the patch, the best thing is the picture I am keeping in my back pocket of my dad with a oxygen tube on his face, he is dying from smoking, maybe he;s got a week, maybe some months, maybe some years I dont know. What I do know is smoking has put him into a housebound status hooked to a oxygen machine and that aint 4 me, been a week since I had a smoke. OH YA the chantix is a miracle drug it got him to stop smoking and nothing ever could b4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried welbutrin, Didn't help me quit, Just made my cigs taste really bad. I called the welbutrin my i don't give a S____ pill. I tried that other pill they had out, Don't remember the name but i remember the 5 days in the hospital with an ice pack to my head and eye patches over my eyes to keep out any light and anytime i had to open my eyes i started vomitting volently and ear plugs so that i didn't hear any nosies that would drive the pain to even higher levels than i thought every possable. They called this a Statis Migraine brought on by that pill. I'm waiting to see how well my neice is going to do before i want to try a pill again. I wish you luck friend !! You have a week behind you, Just keep going!!! Jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
