Anti Depressant Can Help Conquer Smoking
People who use the patch, nicotine gum or inhalers must not smoke when they use them as they could overdose on the nicotine. People who try medications that use bupropion hydrochloride are actually encouraged to continue smoking for the first two weeks they are using the medication and then begin the quitting process. This is done by setting a quitting date. When you reach that date you stop smoking but you continue taking the medication for another six to eight weeks. This is a prescription medication and the health care provider will write the prescription for the correct dose and length of time to take the medication. Follow their direction carefully and take only what you are supposed.

The success rate of this drug is between fifteen and twenty five percent though some studies have seen results of over fifty percent. But for those who have tried and failed more than once trying a medication that is easy to take, one daily pill swallowed not chewed, can make all the difference between smoking and quitting. This medication should not be used by everyone. Your doctor should be aware of any medical conditions you might have before prescribing it. It is not safe for those who are epileptic, not anyone who suffers from the eating disorders of bulimia or anorexia since any of these can lead to seizures. It should also not be taken by anyone who regularly drinks alcohol or takes sedatives. Those with allergies to bupropion should make sure that they do not take this medication as an allergic reaction could be dangerous. Smokers trying to quit should not use this medication if they are already using an anti-depressant. It is also risky for people with diabetes, or those who use illegal drugs and over the counter sleep aids because of the possibility of seizures. The recommended dose for most smokers trying to quit is three hundred milligrams. Those with some medical problems can use a half dose of one hundred and fifty milligrams. But, this is something that will be decided to by the health care provider.
