Started taking Wellbutrin to try to quit smoking...

[toymank]

are you smoking while taking it? [img]wink.gif[/img]
and besides, I fail to see a downside of that feeling [img]wink.gif[/img]

While we're on it, or addictions in general... I dont think I can get addicted to much [img]eek.gif[/img] besides, porn, o' course!) Honestly, I've seen everyone else fuck up in my family by becoming addicted to tobacco, alchohol, or worse... and I guess it makes me more um... resisant to temptation?

What Im saying is, hell, I've actually smoked quite a bit in my time, between my brother being a heavy smoker, and a few friends that did, so if there was another one around... hell, I'd sit outside, have a talk, and a smoke with them.
Thing was, I could just end up saying "nah, dont feel like it" and... I went from whenever I wanted to, just not doing it one day, didn't want to. Haven't for a year and a half now [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Addiction's fer suckers! [img]wink.gif[/img]

nicotine is more addictive than heroin.
if I go a few hours without a smoke, I get headaches you wouldn't fucking believe.
and I get right snippy too.

kinda feeling like that right now, although it ain't nic-related.

The side effects will subside with a little bit of time. it takes a while to build to a theraputic level in your bloodstream. give it a few weeks

I was kind of like T.M above. I could smoke for a few months, get tired of it and quit. I could do this over and over. finally I just said screw it. I've seen way too many people die or work on them while dying from smoking. its a rough way to die

Try poking yourself in the eye everytime you light up. Eventually you'll get sick of doing that so you'll just quit.....or go blind. [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Exactly. Peter Jennings' death freaked me out. Smoking almost killed my dad a while back. I'm just determined not to go that way. [img]frown.gif[/img]

I'm on major pain killers for my back and have been for a long time. I'm sure if I didnt take them I'd have major withdrawls and end up in the E.R. a while back I tried oxycotin for pain. that shit is straight from hell. 10 minutes late on a dose and youre into withdrawls. Evil shit. I got off of it as soon as I could get it out of my system. If they ever try and give any of you that shit, run the other way

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was taking Vicodin for my back a few years back. I was on it for about three months. Loved how it made me feel. But the same thing happened to me after I went off of it - major withdrawals. Shaky, depressed, diarrhea. I was miserable! Took me about two weeks to recover from it. [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img]

I didn't go that route, I just used the patch and took myself off of that a month ago. I used the strong patch for a week, then the middle strength for about a month and started cutting them in half
down to quarters and that was that. I'm happy to be smoke free for two and 1/2 months now and I've even lost weight during this time to boot.
I will say this.. if you get some migraine headaches at about 3 weeks to a month Nicotine
free, don't worry, it happens to a lot of people.
Congrats on getting off the smokes bud!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
