Stop smoking medication and mental health

Bupropion
Bupropion has been shown to be effective for people with depression and schizophrenia although it has been associated with increased anxiety and depression. It is contraindicated in bipolar disorder and should not be prescribed with drugs that increase risk of seizures, such as tricyclic antidepressants and some antipsychotics. Bupropion can also increase blood levels of citalopram, which should be avoided for two weeks after stopping. It is also contraindicated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Varenicline
Varenicline is not contraindicated for use in mental health although the SPC advises particular care in patients with a previous history of psychiatric illness, and states that patients should be advised accordingly.

The only ’safer’ cigarette is your last one.
Duane Alan Hahn .................................

Confucius .................................
If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.
Clement Freud .................................
Smoking is a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.
King James I of England .................................
Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost a very important part of your life.
Brooke Shields .................................
I’ll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It’s addictive. And there’s a fantastic brand loyalty.
Warren Buffett .................................
If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.
Clement Freud .................................
Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.
