I think Wellbutrin can make you sleepy. I am taking Zoloft and Wellbutrin for depression, a matter that has nothing to do with smoking, but I think it is making the lack of smoking easier to deal with :)

I'm doing better this time than I ever have. I've got one more 7mg patch, and then I'm done with them (hopefully). Temptations have been many today, but none of them have been strong enough to break me. The demon's trying hard, and he's gonna fail this time...

Woo Hoo Bugs! I can't wait until I am not so busy at work so I can really play with my fellow bugs. I bought a relaxation/meditation cd...helps calm my nerves after a long day in the trenches. Keep on keepn' on!

Hi Zanny, You said >> Nice to see everyone here. Rosie Girl 7mg already. That's a big WOOOOHOOOOO! <<< mistake.... I was wooohoooooo ing someone else who was down to the 7 ml patch. I stayed on the page less than 2 weeks. started with the 21.. I cut it in half a little after a week... got pissed.... and decided not to use it all .... less than 2 weeks, was enough for me to see that the world wouldn't come to and end.. without a smoke in my hand... or in my mouth... I haven't used a patch since... nor have I smoked. I WANTED THE NICOTINE OUT OF MY SYSTEM. Today I had three members of my family show up that smoke.. Thank Goodness... I never allowed smoking in the house.. so everyone visits outside... This way.... when I think I might be feeling any little bit of stress.. I have a safe place to go to... Best part... is that place has A/C :-) lol [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 35 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 538 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $174.65 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

The best advise for the coughing, when it should start..... is cough fully.... The coughing is going to be the old tar and crap loosening from the little aveoli in your lungs... It could start now... or in a week or 2. Most likely you will feel a need to clear your throat often,. then later it will be a productive cough... It won't be like a cough when you sick... It might be very stubborn as far a moving stuff so you can get rid of it... but it will Drink a lot of water... meaning the proper amounts we all should. Breath very deeply ...hold a sec or two.... and then let it out... emptying your lungs as much as you can. This will do 2 things. Stretch your lungs opening those clogged air sake exchangers loosening the old tar.. and encourage coughing. Be sure to spit out ALL that you can. Another little thing that you might try... is to treat yourself as if you have croup.... steam treatments with a mentholated aid. If it is really thick.... and just not moving... go to the drugstore and by a mini vaporizer. It is for the face and rather direct. These things I mentioned are all.. basic respiratory care. Breath deeply hold exhaul. Several times a day drink liquids... do the water if you can direct steam vaporising treatment.
