On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines (Part 15):
An Edan SE-12 Express Product Review


As for the fifteenth part of this new article series entitled On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here all about the risks and dangers of smoking and how it affects our heart.

You start taking varenicline about a week before you quit smoking, and you take it for a total of 12 to 24 weeks. You take varenicline 2 times a day, after meals.

The way bupropion helps people cope with cravings is not entirely known. Bupropion can help balance chemicals in your brain and reduce your withdrawal symptoms. Doctors also prescribe bupropion (under the brand name Wellbutrin) to treat depression. But it can help you stop smoking even if you do not have depression.

You start taking bupropion daily about 1 to 2 weeks before you quit smoking. This builds up the level of medicine in your body. You keep taking bupropion for 7 to 12 weeks after you stop using tobacco. You can take it for as long as 6 months to a year.

There are two other medicines you can try if varenicline and bupropion do not work or you cannot take them. These are nortriptyline (Aventyl, Pamelor) and clonidine (Catapres).
