> Thanks Beatrix, How did you quit? I am starting school in two weeks and am afraid I will by a nut case if I quit now. I know, we always have an excuse! lol

Quitting smoking when you're untreated or undertreated for depression/anxiety is hell. I mean, when you are struggling just to get out of bed, just to organize daily life, to squeeze enough dopamine out of your system to allow you go for a walk, giving up the small amount of dopamine rush you get from a cigarette is hard!I keep thinking, I'll finally get my meds right and then quitting will just be hard. I've tried four times, seriously giving it everything I had, and just couldn't do it. The one time I managed to quit for a year was while I was in my one year honeymoon period on imipramine when I was first diagnosed and first put on ADs.
I actually think Effexor makes me smoke more.
