I am on my first week of chantex, trying to quit smoking, I feel real weird being on interferon, ribovarin, klonipin, lexipro, and now chantex. I am super nautious. I wanted to quit but doc, told me to wait till six months of tx, now its time. I feel like I have so many drugs in me, and none of them get me high. Thats the worst part, lol they just make me sick and miserable.

yeah, tht's a lot of stuff. keep drinking LOTS and LOTS of water. when i felt like i couldn't drink one more drop of water i started using a straw and for some reason that helped. crackers will help the nausea. i finally had to get a perscription for nausea! it helped a lot.

lots of hugs, q

I wanted to stop smokeing too, but was warned i should not add to the anxiety to what i will experience. So i continue to smoke. It is the familiar thing i cant identify with. I would wait till another time!

Ask Doc for Phenergan for nausea. I could not quit smoking for anything at this point in time.

Do you have to quit smoking right now? Seems, to be the worst time to quit, while on tx. I haven't smoked in years, but a few times on tx, I just wanted to light up.

Good luck~~

None of them get me high lol, that's the right attitude bud, I know if I mentioned any sides I was going through, and I had them all to the MAX, to my primary care they had a drug for it, that's what they are partially paid for, supplying drugs from the pharmacutical companys that kickback to them.
So you hve to deciede, and with the treatment drugs thats hard to do. Decieding I mean, how much you can take, stop trying to stop smoking at this point, added stress is the last thing you need.
I decieded to take the pain in my joints, the stomach distress, took as much as I could to cut down on other drugs since the treatment drugs are cancer causing strong meds man you don't need anymore shit in you, Up to you though
Like one member said the water intake is very important, I found this tea in the supermarket, Brand name : YOGI D-TOX try it to help flush anti toxins, man 6 mos after going off treatments those drugs were still affecting me, good luck bud

I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
