The Patch

monkeyracing · 02-14-2003, 03:28 PM

Alrighty, I'm trying to quit smoking. It's been interesting. I cut waaaaay down a couple of months back, and now I'm on the patch. One of the side effects of the patch is that you may have vivid dreams. Vivid?!? That doesn't begin to describe the sh*t I dreamt last night.

Weird thing though, I think I must be the most faithful husband on the friggin planet, because I had this dream where some chick was trying real hard to pick me up, and I flat out refused her.

Damnit! I can't have any fun. Stupid morality.

hey Jim, if the patch doesn't work....go to your doctor and ask about Anti-Depressant drugs. Something in the drug helps people to quit smoking.

LOL!

I've seen this stuff the other day that's a pill you can use to stop smoking.

i know a guy who used the patch to quit smoking and after the 6months of patch he ended up smoking twice as much......he went to the doctor and the doctor said about trying the anti-depressants and he's been smoke free for 2 years now. I think he was on the drug for like 6 months-1yr.

and a good thing about the drug is that you will be HAPPIER.

It seems like everyone who I've known who is on the patch is always pissed off. Must be feening for nicotine.

emmy and others, that is ZYBAN, zyban is used to help quit smoking, now, its the exact same drug as welbutriral (sp?) which of course is an anti depressant drug, for soem reason they found it helps quit smoking. jimmy, good for you man, try hard cause smoking sucks! melissa quit again, im so happy for her, she quit when preganat of course, but then started again. so im very happy she quit again!

actually Joey there's quite a few different kinds of anit-depressants they use now....

as for the patch that's not an anti-depressant....therfore it wont make ya happier and yes i've heard those on the patch can be quite MOODY.

congrats again Melissa....hopefully this time will be for good.

oh i didnt mean the patch, i thought you were referring to zyban which is actually a dn techincially also persribed as an anti depressant.

Yeah, I had my experience with Zyban (Wellbutrin) a couple of years ago. I had been taking it for two weeks, and I wasn't smoking at all. Then, out of the blue, I have this massive allergic reaction to it.

I broke out in a scabby head to toe rash, and it looked like there were white worms crawing around under my skin.

So, I got tense, and had a smoke...
