Giving up smoking

[fayebay1969]

That said, if you do feel overly teary you should talk to your doctor. I don't know what weelbutrin is so I can't guess how that is effecting things.
Personally I found the most effective alternative to smoking was Pringles.

Does overly teary include crying at a rodeo when a 6 yr old wins a trophy and it's no relation to me? I think so.
Wellbutrin is an antidepressant. It did help me quit smoking but my dr recently switched my birth control pills (still have my ovaries and don't want to take hormone pills) so maybe that's not mixing well. I'm really tempted to start skipping a day or two to ween myself before then. I'm not suicidal or anything. It's just a pain in the butt lately.

I cry reading books, the paper, movies, anything emotional. I probably would have cried at a 6yo winning a troghy too!!!
If you've just started a new pill and thats when the teariness started, that sounds like the reason.
But if you don't like the other pills you whould check with your doctor first because some things you have to come off really slowly or you can have awful side effects.
For depression I always prefer a glass of champagne and a couple squares of Lindt 70% cocoa chocolate. And if that doesn't work I drink the rest of the champagne and eat all the chocolate and then I really have something to feel bad about!

Mudslides and Godiva are holding me together until I go see the dr in 5 days.

Yaaaayyy! My dr pulled me off the Wellbutrin but is now testing me for cancer. I had an attack on my right ovary night before last. He also changed my birth control pill again to see if that will help with the weeping any. We'll see what happens.

My dh tried Wellbutrin and I ate junk food. He did not crave a cigarette the whole time. He thought it was the best thing since sliced bread - until about 3 days later when his hands started breaking out in itchy hives - and then it spread up his wrist. He had to stop taking the Wellbutrin. He started back smoking. I didn't. We both gained 15 pounds.....

I'm doing excellent with the not smoking. I haven't even cheated since before Thanksgiving. I've on gained about 10 lbs but I also had a hysterectomy. I was laid up for about 6 weeks due to complications. I've wanted to cheat really bad but haven't.
