Does Zoloft help you to quit smoking, and will it effect birth control pills? -
I started taking Zoloft to quit smoking but I don-t think it-s working. Plus I-m on the pill and worried about side effects. What are some easy ways to stop smoking?
Will power. That-s how I did it. It-s all psychological. Each time you pull a cigarette out of the pack, each time you bum one off of someone, each time you buy a pack or even ask for money to buy a pack, ask yourself any one of these questions:
Is this pack/carton/cigarette worth the months/years I-ll spend in the hospital breathing through a tube?
Is this pack/carton/cigarette worth the pain I feel in my lungs and my chest every now and then?
Is this pack/carton/cigarette worth the lives I-ll ruin of my (potential) children, siblings, parents, boyfriend/husband, or other family member when (not if) I die from lung cancer or heart disease?
Is this pack/carton/cigarette worth not being able to perform the physical tasks I once was able to perform before I didn-t smoke?
Is pack/carton/cigarette worth the money that I spent on it, that I am basically burning for no other reason than the momentary gratification that I experience for 5mins (per cigeratte)?
Ask yourself these questions when you even THINK about smoking, and trust me. You-ll quit!
One other tip:
Stop paying for cigarettes at all costs. If you really need one, bum it. But when you start getting dirty looks from people you frequently bum off of, you-ll be ever more encouraged to quit. If you-re doing this, one other question to ask is:
Is this cigarette worth the dirty look I just received from that last ****** I bummed this off of.
girl, if it isn-t working try the gum...i-ve known some it has worked on. Call the dr. and ask him how it will effect you if you stay on zoloft. Smoking isn-t good if your on BC anyway, but i did it. I-m too stressed out to quit. doesn-t that sound awful???
well i am on zoloft and it hasnt helped me quit. the anti depressant that is suppose to help you quit is wellabutrin. never heard of zoloft helping to quit. as for an easy way to quit i have no clue. if you figure it out tell me!
