Hello World :)
Due to financial reasons, I stopped smoking about 2(3) weeks ago. Because 150€ for a month supply for this prescriotion free supplement is just too expensive for me...
First, I just stopped smoking and used a nicotine patch and an inhaler when needed. But despite this measurments, I got severely worse after a few days. The core symptoms got significantly worse. I think it have been 4 days, when I decided to start smoking again instead of using the thik rope on the truss. And after smoking a few, within some minutes I went from suicidal to feeling significantly better..... I thought, ok, lets smoke because it seems to be necessary.
Well, the next day, instead of smoking, I thought I should try some selegiline additional to the nicotine before I really decide to smoke again...
And that really worked!! I now still use a patch and the inhaler when I like to plus "Xilopar" (some kinf of sublingual Selegiline, which bypasses the liver and therefore does not cause amphetamin metabolites, nor a hypertensive crisis if taken to high without dietary restricions). recommended dose is one tab (1,25mg) before breakfast. this really kickstarts my brain in the morning. very very nice :) And now after 2 weeks on this combination I really feel much better than back when I smoked. I even dont feel like crap in the evening anymore and could quit Pentoxyfylline, because I dont get into this state (burned out, stressed out) anymore of which Pent brought my out....I just hope this isnt some kind of transient bipolar swing....
Only "side effect" is anorgasmia, weired (but really interesting, almost psychedelic) dreams, I am sleeping too much also (will quit klonopin)
Anyway. Altough the combination I take is officially Contraindicated, I dont have any problems at all.
I take:
Nortriptyline 75mg
Clomipramine 75mg
Nicergoline 30mg (alpha blocker)
Depakote 300mg
Klonopin 0,25mg
Xilopar (selegiline) 1 tab, 1,25mg
Maybe this is useful for others who try to quit smoking...
