First I'd like to know a little more about your present health and medications, to see if the new therapy would be right for you. Now, I'll tell you about the new treatment and we can discuss whether it's right for you. Bupropion is a medication that works on your system to cut down the withdrawal effects of smoking, like irritability, anxiety, restlessness and difficulty concentrating. It also tends to reduce the craving to smoke, which other smoking cessation methods don't generally affect. It's new in Canada, but it has been used in the U.S. for a little while.
Some people find it helps.
That sounds good. Most medications have some side effects, although they don't happen to everyone. On the other hand, you know the effects of continuing to smoke almost two packs of cigarettes a day. I think I'll ask my doctor about getting some. I really do want to try quitting again, but I know I need help.
