JL, ya give me hope !!!
It's a nasty nasty habit that is very tough to quit.
Every time I fail it takes me a while to climb back on the horse and try again... but I keep trying.
Wellbutrin worked the BEST for me, but I had to stop it due to insurance coverage changes and the urges came rushing back immediately after stopping the meds. I've tried the patches , gum and cold turkey and so far nothing has come close to the Wellbutrin in easing the cravings. However a second go with Wellbutrin had NO effect what so ever.
I've talked with my docs about Chantix but with being on Nortriptylyn and Lyrica they don't want me on it.. so I'm gearing up for another gum session soon.
Harrison, both Wellbutrin and Chantix have some pretty significant side effects, especially on mood swings and mental outlooks. I also find the patches really affect your sleep habits. Just an fyi from someone who keeps trying.
