Fail

[Mrs.Rum]

I think that's a pretty clear description. 

I couldn't figure out why the fight had gotten so bad and this morning I think I got it.  I had been on Wellbutrin and I quit taking it several weeks ago; I believe a lot of the noise in my head was from that.  I should not have stopped it.  Based on how I've been feeling (in general, not just the smoking part) I think that the Wellbutrin was not just helping with the smoking but also with my depression which I guess I underestimated.  The noise in my head was so bad I just couldn't stand it.

I'm going to restart the Wellbutrin immediately.  I will not give up this fight.

I'm glad to hear your determination but please be careful with abruptly stopping Wellbutrin. It will, indeed, help with depression but can have harmful effects if you stop too quickly. I believe your Doctor will agree on that - please ask him or her before stopping again.

Stay determined - you CAN do this!

I am on depressed side of my Bipolar right now. I know what you mean. I need to also get out of this slump & back on track. I am giving myself 2 more weeks & then I am ending this horrid relationship with my cigs. Mental Health is not something to "mess" with & some people just don't "get" it. If it is helping you, continue doing what you were doing!

While I am certainly no expert, I do know that anyone with depression issues needs to quit smoking under the care, and with the advice, of their doctor.  When you stop smoking, all kinds of chemicals (not just the nicotine) are no longer in your system, and I personally believe it can create an imbalance  You really do need to be careful when you are taking those kinds of medications........and be very careful and at least have a conversation with your doctor before you  stop taking them.

I am sorry you are having to start over with your quit, but hope you will understand what you need to be successful next time.

Let us know if we can help.  We stand ready!
