Chantrix and Emphysema? |
I have emphysema, I'm not on oxygen. If I take Chantrix how's my chances? Chantix is a drug used for smokers. I was diagnosed with Emphysemia last year. I use and inhaler when needed. (I try not to get addicted to it, thinking i need it.) I try to controll my breathing using my own body. Making myself cough bringin up YUK but it works in clearing the lungs. I was given a prescription for chantrix and I took it for 60 days. I had the worst cravings. So I went to the store and bought the step program. It starts with 7 14 and 21. I started the 21 right away. I gave up all caffiene during the 3 months. As hard as it was, it worked. I have not had a craving for nearly a month. you question is? There's no way we can know that. You need to ask your doctor; he/she can best evaluate what drugs you can or cannot take. If it really helps you quit then you should have some improvement. I have COPD and I didn't have any relief from taking that med. It seemed to have the opposite effect on me, as do many meds. I am on oxygen, 24-7. Go for it! You certainly won't be getting any worse. Good luck to you! |
