Quitting Smoking
Lisa, I finally gave up the desire to quit, so I'm certainly not an expert on the various methods. However, most doctors think not smoking is a wonderful thing and are more than willing to prescribe something to help you. One of the drugs I used successfully is Wellbutrin, the same drug as Zyban, a popular "Stop Smoking" drug and a whole lot cheaper. Had I not stopped taking it, I might have succeeded. Someday when I have time I want to try an experiment to see if not smoking increases my PD symptoms and if Wellbutrin decreases those symptoms to the same degree. I'd be interested in the effects of not smoking on your symptoms. Jerry -- Help us save the horses! Habitat for Horses, Inc. A lifetime home for abused, endangered horses.
