Working On It... I was also amazed that smoking was not allowed. I'd say it was good and bad. I mean, I'm so glad smoking wasn't allowed, because the temptation to relapse under such a high stress situation would have been difficult for me to deal with. On the other hand, for the people who were still smoking, which was more than the majority of the inpatients, they had to deal with not only nicotine withdrawal (with or without NRT), but also whatever crisis brought them into the inpatient ward in the first place.
Anybody here use Wellbutrin to help quit smoking or otherwise? I was just prescribed it as another antidepressant, and had my first one yesterday morning (5:30 a.m.). By the time I went to bed at 9:30 p.m., I had the worst dream-hallucinations ever. I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking that the things that were happening in my mind (while I wasn't even sleeping yet) were really happening to me. Then I'd wake up, and it would start over again, regardless of whether or not I'd try deep breathing, meditation, or any other mindfulness coping mechanism.
I had to take another medication, which I hate doing. I never used to have problems sleeping before I was prescribed my cocktail of antidepressants.
Eventually I'm going to have to take one first thing in the morning and a second pill at noon. I'm worried then it'll get worse.
Just wondering if anybody here had some advice for getting through that. Does it ever go away?
I'm not using antidepressants to quit smoking. I'm using them because I have major depression. But I remember hearing that Wellbutrin can be used for people who are quitting smoking, so I figured somebody here might have some advice if they'd used it before.
The hallucinations have stopped, thank goodness!!! :-D
