Patches, Hypnotism, Zyban or some other way ?????

I don't know what the best way is....but I can tell you what worked for me.......\n\nI started using the patch at first.....and although it didn't lower my cravings very much.....it did help because I didn't want to get sick from ridiculously high nicotine intake.  When I put the patch on in the morning it was a commitment for me not to smoke that day....it was more a psychological tool then a real one I guess.  After about a week and a half, I stopped using the patch....and by that time it became a little easier to resist the urges.  Every time I wanted a cigarette...or thought I'll just have one....I told myself I was a pu**y with no self discipline if I gave into the urges.  I also did NOT change my social life at all...knowing that if I avoided bars or restaurants or smoking friends at first....I wouldn't be over the social addiction when I encountered it later.  Good luck man.....quitting is easier then you think......although very difficult.  People make it sound harder then it is to rationalize their lack of will power...and the tobacco companies promote this belief to discourage quitting and make relapse more acceptable/rationalized.  Just make the commitment.  I'll tell you this...I'm just about on my second cigarette free year....and I feel a LOT healthier...I even feel better about myself.  I save the money I used to spend on cigarettes on myself now.....a New CD every now and then....etc etc.  It is hard...but the rewards are huge.

i have a very similar problem. and i am being serious about this. i take Valium and klonopin, there is a big change. i do not take them everyday. you will have to talk to a doctor to get them. you might as well talk to a psychiatrist who knows new types of medications available. i found out my family doctor really did not know what he was talking about. and all of that happy feelings, deep breathing stuff did nothing for me except make me angry

ebay has tons of books at great prices if you don't mind used books.  Go to books and type in hypnotism.  Don't do a general search on hypnotism though because there are tons & tons of audio cds that hypnotize you to loose weight, stop smoking etc.  If you want books, click on books first and then type in hypnotism.\n\nif you want new books and/or more information on the books before you buy them, go to amazon.com.  again, click on books and type in hypnotism.  Amazon has almost every book in print, plus they give a description of the book and allow users to review them so you get a feel for the book from others who have an interest in the subject.  For many books, they have scanned in pages so you can read 10 or so pages of the book and get a feel for the author's style and point of view.\n\nIf you want to buy retail and not online, though, go to a specialty shop.  The barnes & nobles & borders of the world just aren't going to have much of a selection.  If there is a hypnotheraphy institute in your area, they should have a pretty good bookstore.  Otherwise, a new agey shop might have one.\n\nAlso, if you have an independent book store in your neighborhood, you might talk to the owner and see if s/he has a good feel for the subject.  White they might not stock the book, they might be able to recommend books and order them for you.  \n\nFinally, talk to your reference librarian.  Usually libraries have recriprical privileges where, even if the local library doesn't have a book, they can get it from a library in their network.  Your reference librarian is a great resource.

definitely hypnotherapy works in your case. it will completely eradicate the traumatic experience you had as a child.

I am taking a new one called Niravam...it melts on your tongue, calms you down, but you can still function ( or I know I can).  I have tried valium and xanax and like them both, but they seem to "zombie" me out.  Niravam is the best I have had so far.  My dr. also coupled that with Zoloft..I still have some bad days, but these have helped me so very much.  My symptoms were general nervousness, being extremenly agitated or jittery, crying and depressed.

Then you need to "hook up" with a psychiatrist who can prescribe you medication.  What you are talking about is either prescription fraud and/or illegal purchase and possession of narcotics.  Do you know that online discusion of this immediately forwarded to DEA, FBI and your state police narcotics squad?  Yes indeedy.  Just those words will get your IP address monitored by them.  Trust me.

Hypnotisim only works with the consent of the one being treated.  It might work if you want to block memories, but souch things tend to "seep out" in other aspects of the personality.

I quit about a year ago, and I didn't use anything like patches or gum. Just willpower. It wasn't easy, but I knew that I was capable of doing it. I guess I did it to prove to myself that I could.\n\nGood luck!!

Breathe Right nasal strips worked wonders for my husband! They are cheap and available at any drugstore. Amazingly simple concept but it works! It's a good start before trying anything more serious/expensive!

I substituted a 12-Step Program.  Regarding "better effects", there is NO comparison (for me) - - Wouldn't trade today's 'effects' for the world...One Day At A Time, 10 years later...Amen. :)

I have found that Xanax works wonders when I have to fly. Talk to your doctor...

I would suggest the dr and have him set you up with a pyschologist as well as a accupuncturist and massage therapy.. it works.  I have not have had surgery.  I so glad i didn't.\n\nI did the other ones. I think it is the best thing to do.  I didn't know you could even order medications on line.  I thought you needed a dr's script.

Only if you believe the disinformation campaign where stuff like this was orginially published.  Fact is that this cannot be done.  Just won't happen.  University study after University study has shown that you can't control people with hypnosis.  Makes for good TV and fanatasies but not reality.

Thorazine and a straight jacket should do the trick... Seriously, GET HELP QUICK!
