My Dr. prescribed Catapres
Hi all,
This is my first time posting and utilizing Cognitive Quit Smoking.
This is my third day of being smoke free. After several attempts to
quit in past years (ie: hypnotism, nicorette, cold turkey, the
patch, etc..), my doctor finally realized that I am a “diehard” and
suggested this
people that have high blood pressure and also for recovering cocaine
addicts. He has found that using the Catapres patch along with the
Nicotine patch, is very safe and effective, for people trying to quit
cigarettes and other substance abuse addictions. I quit last year
for 4 months with this same therapy, and found it to be a great way,
except for mild lethargy, and skin irritation from the Catapres. I
stopped both patches cold turkey after 4 months and went right back
to smoking 
However, this time is different for me, because I know
my patterns, and realized, that I stayed smoke free for 4 months with
this kind of therapy, why not forever? Any and all input is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
