Mental Health Support

I know 4 coworkers who have taken it to help quit smoking.

It made one of them (young, 25 year old female) VERY agitated and prone to reacting before she thought about things...kind of emotional for a good few months. We all knew what was going on, so we understood and supported her through it. She's has not smoked in about 6 months now. And, now that her personality is back to her usual sweet self, we do tease her about the evil twin that visited us for those first few months.

Another co-worker, mid-40's male used it about 5 years ago. Prior to the meds, he was a VERY laid back guy...while on them, I sometimes wondered if he was asleep with his eyes open. No agitation, just way mellow. Did not help him kick his habit.

Two others, my age - 40-ish, and female. No noticeable personality changes. One was able to quit, one wasn't.

I'm in the same boat as you - I know I need to quit, in theory I want to quit, but the timing is horrid. It is a goal for sometime this year. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to approach it/which method I will use.

Let us know how he does on the meds and if he's successfully able to quit. Tell him good luck from me!! I hope he can do it!
