Hi Valerie,
I agree with the comments about talking to ur doctor and maybe see what other options u have. I suffer from Migraine headaches and the medicine I'm taking is an anti-seizure medication called TOPAMAX. I was on it for 2yrs. and my migraines went away. Now they are slowly coming back and my dr. put me back on it and at the same time put me on CHANTIX. U could talk to ur dr. about this medicine and see what he or she thinks. I also heard of another medication today that is an anti-depressant also used to help quit smoking it is called LEXAPRO. A lady I met today told me she smoked for a long time and after 3wks on this medication she quit. She said there are 3 different mgs. there is 10mg,15mg,and 20mg. she told me to talk to my dr and if he approved it then start at 10 and if not enough then he could increase as i needed it. What I found interesting about her is that she was working in the cigarette line in walmart, I was looking to see what kind of over the counter NRT's I could use with my Chantix. I took WELBUTRIN it is also an antidepressant used to help in quitting smoking, I used it for a month my migraines got worse. that was before my TOPAMX.My dr said WELBUTRIN isn't for everyone and sometimes we have to try different things until we find one that works for us. I'm not scheduled to see my dr for 8 wks and I hope that I will be smoke free when I do. I know that if I need to see him before then I can. I am going to trust the Chantix for now and see how it goes for me. Good Luck I hope this helps some I am new at this too. Take care and keep intouch.
