Smoking and BudeprionBy shelly from New jersey on May 15, 2006 Category: Budeprion SR (Oral) I really don't know how this medicine wa\orks i got it from my doctor, it is very hard to quit smoking cold turkey i am just seeing if there are any suggestions on how to go about doing this. ALso what would happen if you were to smoke on this medicine. |
Just another quitting smokerSmoking while on this medication will not do any harm. This medicine is actually an anti-depression, that also happens to help with the cravings and anxiety after you quit smoking. According to my doctor and other medical articles I have read, you should actually not quit smoking until after you have been on the medication for 2 weeks to give it time to build up in your system, and then after two weeks ... walk away from your cigarettes. You can also use nicotine gum and nicotine patches while on the medication ... the medication is just supposed to assist with the cravings and anxiousness that occurs when a smoker quits. Hope that helps! By Unknown on May 20, 2006 | Reply | An anti-depressant to stop smoking?Why would my Dr. prescribe an anti-depressant to stop smoking? There surely must be others routes to take. I am not, nor ever have been depressed and I'm leery of taking this. I have breathing problems, am 75 years old, but otherwise in very good health...not overwieght (weigh 110), don't have heart problems or any thing else. Be anxious to hear your response. Thank you. By Norma M from Florida on May 24, 2006 | Reply | Smoking and QuitingI have completed a whole, whole, whole bottle of budeprion. Well, I guess the good thing about it is that I still want to try and smoke, but when I do go ahead and try and smoke I can only take 2 pulls and then I have to put the cig out. So I guess it is working, huh.
