It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.

In Reply to: Has anyone here (or anyone you know) had luck with Wellbutrin for smoking cessation? nm - Thanks!
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.

s/l six urge
working on an EEG report:
At the beginning of reporting the patient is awake. There is a well-formed s/l 'six urge'
posterior dominant rhythm that seems symetric throughout both hemispheres.
Before anyone gets the urge to
lay these offshore tax breaks at the feet of Bush or any single president of either party:
The tax code favors foreign investment because we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. In addition to lower wage costs, they pay a lower tax in foreign countries. This encourages investment in expansion of the business in those countries. No President is to blame, this "Active Foreign Income" part of the code hasn't changed since in was enacted in early 1900s. Payment of tax when profits are brought to the U.S. but ends up being favorable to the outsourcer through various provisions of the code.
So, can't blame anybody but every Congress, since they've failed to change it. It's those wonderful guys in Congress, once again, who are always looking out for the little guy.
Tip: Keep a nicotine 7 mg patch in your wallet at ALL times. If you get strong urge, stick it on an

2.5 mg to 5 mg Valium, lower dose by 1/2 tab a day until
you are off. You should have no problems. I went through that after major illness and surgery with no problems whatever. If you do this diligently, stick to your guns, last couple of days do same doses for 2 days rather than 1, then go to every other day, then off, you should be fine with no withdrawal
Climara low dose patch
The night sweats or hot flashes as they call them disturbed my sleep to the point I was useless during the day time.
I concluded that I would take these hormones as I simply had to work at top performance at my job and get things done around the house as well.
I'll deal with the "change" when I am retired and can walk around like a zombie. For now, I have to consider quality of life.
I tried several before Climara and though it is not on my formulary (50.00/month), I take it to live normally.
Now I realize why women my age sometimes can look ravaged.
I used it but it tended to "junk me up" so I took only a tiny dose...sm
for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!
After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?
6 MV photons with dose specified to Bmax or Dmax?

DEFINATELY TAKE IT
It may have some draw backs like any job but I would definately take it!!
I also separate with semicolons--allows use of commas where needed within dose instructions. SM
I see the value of stopping each med with a period; but the voice rec programs I've worked with so far have been using commas (or nothing), and breaking the strings up with period+spaces+caps, etc. is much too time consuming. Plus, account instructions typically ask for either numbered lists or comma/semicolons anyway.
MAN!! You definately NAILED it - sm
 Really, I searched for the right words - you nailed it!!! Standing Ovation to YOU!!! This woman is a "blame freak" - isn't that narcissistic (s/p?) behavior or something along those lines? BRAVO!!!
getting neutered will definately help!!
Getting him neutered will help with the hyper-activity, the anxiety and the urinating.
You should also consider taking him to dog obedience school so he is properly trained.
Keep this one as you look. But, YES, definately start looking.

I am definately not a liar and I can
honestly say that I've been doing VR on the eScription platform for over 4 years now, 2 years at my current employer, and at 0.04 a line I can easily do 500+ lines an hour. I have a great primary account that I have been on those 2 years and sometimes if I get the few dictators that have templates I can even do 700+ an hour. It most certainly can be done!
We definately aren't.....
sitting around much. They don't care if it's behind is the thing. So basically they want every single second of my time occupied. There might be a 5 minute break between patients or while you are waiting for the doctor to come out and during that time we get charts together, take a breather, yes, but not sitting around. They just want me to take that 5 minutes, run type for 5 minutes, then run back to see if the doctor needs anything and just run a shift like that. I believe I am just going to say no.
Does hormone replacement (specifically low dose Prempro) cause you to gain weight? nm

Nobody here seems to definately know answer Thanks see mssg
Coughing and sneezing have no affect/effect on it, and bowel and bladder functions have been normal.
Definately a management problem!!!
All a company has to do is have someone in charge of monitoring the system and asign the work or at least watch it and when it starts getting low, take people off the system until it builds back up. A hospital I worked for directly did this and it worked great. The company I now work for doles out the work evenly to all employees first and then IC next. Again it is the fairest practice and seems pretty simple to do, but as below posters stated, most companies don't care, they just want the work done!
You will definately see great results
within a week or two. It's a great workout, easy, and definately will give you results. Stick with it and you will be very pleased. I love pilates
105 pounds is definately not overweight
for someone who is 5'4". What was he smoking?
absolutely agree; they needed a good dose of Exlax. where was the local talent.

Definately ruins any fantasy I ever had about cowboys!

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

Tell him to smoke outside.
That way, he still gets his way, but you don't have to smell it in your house.
I used to smoke but..
I used Zyban. I will be smoke free for 8 years in April. But it is scary how for some those medications end up causing such horrible effects.
blowin smoke
Yep, AL the way to the bank.
Depends what you smoke.

Smoke at your computer? I believe it. I still do.

What I did about the C-phone and smoke. sm
I have to go out of town next week so I got a few small trash bags and put in a Yankee Candle Car Jar, and wrapped it back up tight, as well as with the instruction manual. I'll leave it in there for a week and hopefully that will take it away. I did use rubbing alcohol on the C-phone too and oh gosh, you wouldn't believe how much yellow junk came off from the smoke, especially from the parts that are covered with clear plastic. It smelled up my entire room for a while and I'm still getting whiffs of it every now and then. Thank you everybody for your help and suggestions. I spent $187 on this and I did expect better, or at least a blurb in the auction that it came from a smoker's home.
Someone's blowing smoke up your computer with
unsubstantiated statements.
smoke free for 2 1/2 months
Yes I quit 10 weeks ago. I used the patch for 5 weeks, chewed a lot of gum, chewed on straws, even pretended to smoke a straw sometimes, hey it helped!! As motivational tricks, I printed out pictures of smoke damaged lungs and put them on my wall! I also printed out all the benefits of quitting and hung them in every room. I had smoked a pack a day for 14 years. My significant other still smokes, so if I can quit, you probably can too! I don't even want one now. Oh yeh-drink water! Hope this helps somebody. :)
How many of you smoke while working? See message.
Please don't post about the evils of smoking, etc., just looking for a yes or no.
She didn't smoke cigarettes
She actually smoked cigars!
Looking for a cigarette smoke detector (sm)
My mother lives with us and has gotten into the habit of sneak smoking in the back bathroom. She thinks we can't smell it. Have a granddaughter with asthma and I am very particular about smoke in the house.
I thought if I had a detector that would buzz when she lit up that would encourage her to go outside like my husband does.
I have tried talking to her about smoke smells in there when I have washed down the wallpaper and cleaned rugs/shower curtains down. The smell clings to that wallpaper like glue. She simply denies that anyone smokes in there. She keeps multiple candles in there and thinks she is "covering up the smell".
Any suggestions on a device that might be useful is appreciated.
C-phone & cigarette smoke
I just bought a C-phone off of eBay. I unpack it and it smells like smoke, something bad. I'm a non-smoker. How do I get this smell out? If I had known it was owned by a smoker, I wouldn't have purchased it. The auction didn't say one way or another, so I figured I was safe.
Yuck. Please help! Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Febreeze isn't working so far and I'm sitting here smelling this. Gross.
Talk about blowing smoke, ha.
Even the ones on here who are reading these listings, not all want to join in the revolution. I for one love my job, don’t intend on putting my neck on the chopping block for others just because someone is not as happy or content as me. Ridiculous to even think so.
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?

Yes - smoke 1-1/2 packs per day. Tried and tried to quit to no avail.
I enjoy my nicotine - sad to say.
where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit. Watch and see. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck. Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients. Plus the delisting by SEC. Mighty suspicious huh? Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
Silver Lining: I ran out of money and I'm smoke free
six days with no smokes...also, lost about ten pounds on an involuntary diet. It's amazing what you can cut out when you're broke...
Aw, you don't have to be a "pothead" to smoke pot at one concert. I hadn't smoked for 30
and haven't since, but they passed joints around at that concert and I toked, and it was fun. My brain is far from lame. :)
Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
Curious, did Dog speak at the AAMT convention & if so what did he say? Don't smoke crack?

Talk about blowing smoke! No one, not one MQ MT has "joined" the class action suit.
Its not even up to that point yet. We will be notified and given the legal options via the legal system. So, if you claim you "joined it", you joined nothing - just gave your name to the laywers. Nothing more, so get over yourself. If there is nothing more to pursue after discovery, you won't be joining anything!
That daggon Zatarains put Oak Grove Smoke house out of business, the rats!
I can only find 1 place for Oak Grove Smoke House on the 'net now, and their mixes are WAY better and more original (just editorial opinion, there). All the other 'net entries are some lawsuit Zatarains brought. Blrch.
what helped me
I had to stay away from situations or places where I tended to smoke.
I know you cannot quit work just to quit smoking but maybe rearranging your home office/work area could help.
I also agree with finding a substitute. For me, it was the holding of the cigarette, not the oral contact, that was a tough one. I need to have something to do with my hands - try a stress ball if you find your hands feel empty during your breaks.
I quit in 1997 and still crave a cigarette from time to time but the feeling passes quickly. The first 4 years were really difficult, though. Good luck.
Thank you to everyone below who helped (sm)
