I have been trying to quit, and did for a few days, then fell of the smoking wagon. It is extremely difficult, because smoking is something I do when I have migraines or FMS pain, as a distraction, too allieve the fustration of pain, pain that is not going away. I know it needs to be done...

Concerning the migraine angle- I quit smoking 9 months ago and havn't had a migraine since. I had really bad migraines lasting up to three days for years.

Hi Myth,

Quitting smoking can be the hardest thing to try to do. I know from personal experience when my significant other tried, it was darned near impossible!! He was able to quit after smoking for 40 years, with the help of Wellbutrin. Check with your doctor to see if that might help you. You take wellbutrin for 2 weeks while you continue to smoke like normal. Then you quit cold turkey, but you continue to take the wellbutrin for 2 more weeks. It replaces the nicotine in your body making the cravings and withdrawl less difficult.

Also, check out the site Krystle mentioned in her posting. It is located here. There is much good information there to help you ask all the right questions of your doctor.

Hope this helps a little. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
