I was prescribed initially to help me quit smoking and drinking. I was on a downward spiral with depression and I was using alcohol to self medicate, we assume.
I quit drinking cold turkey, not interested at all. I'll have a drink with my parents for Christmas or New Years, but that's it. It has not helped me quit smoking, unfortunately. It's tough because my partner isn't ready to quit. That's the only bad thing.
I feel like me again. Yes I still get upset, sad, and nervous about things, but it feels natural, natural reactions to every day life. I am more confident, fun to be around, and enjoy going out and doing things....
I just started Chantix in combination with Buproprion to help quit smoking. Wish me luck! I know it can give me crazy dreams, but Buproprion does the same. Bup gives me lucid dreams, which is kind of cool and freaky. Anyone else?
