medications she's on, specifically the Wellbutrin she's been taking to continue to help her quit smoking. She'll likely stop taking that after this.

Good thoughts and hopefully it never happens again. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:43 4
- She's down to a couple a day. - Stephen Jun 24, 08:49 3
  - A couple a day is pretty good. An e-cig might get her to kick those last few. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:53 2
    - If you want any info you can email me. Deets inside. - Krusty Jun 24, 09:10 1
      - Thanks, I appreciate that. -- nm - Stephen Jun 24, 09:27
I know it sounds weird, but I think that nothing coming back is probably a good sign. - spamlet Jun 24, 08:38 1
- No, that's true, no one likes to "not know", but the alternative would have been that there was something (likely major) wrong that caused it. - Stephen Jun 24, 08:46
I did not know Wellbutrin helped with quitting smoking. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:38 10
- iinm, they rebraded it as Chantix to go after the quitting smokers market. - znufrii Jun 24, 08:39 7
  - Chantix is what they give, yup. Not sure if it's the same as Wellbutrin. My gf took Wellbutrin for another reason and she said it helped stop - Krusty Jun 24, 08:41 5
    - loosi is correct, below - znufrii Jun 24, 08:42 2
      - dude....... - groiny Jun 24, 08:43 1
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Jun 24, 08:49
    - I just googled, Chantix is varenicline. Wellbutrin/Zyban are buproprion. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:42 1
      - I wasn't sure. I knew Chantix is what they give to quit smoking but I wasn't sure if Wellbutrin was similar. Guess not. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 08:47
  - I think Chantix is different. Wellbutrin was (is?) called Zyban for smoking. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:40
- yep, they've been using it for years, usually under a different brand name. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:39 1
  - huh - groiny Jun 24, 08:39
oh ok. well, glad she is well and best wishes to her. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 24, 08:37
