Smoking addiction is difficult to overcome. There are few stop smoking medications available in the market designed to help you quit smoking. These include:



1. Zyban



This antidepressant is available in a pill form and should be started a week before you quit smoking. It curbs your craving for a cigarette by increasing levels of specific brain chemicals. This increase lowers nicotine cravings and reduces withdrawal symptoms.



Side Effects: Dry mouth, headache, insomnia, seizures, and agitated feelings



2. Chantix



This prescription drug increases dopamine levels in brain and you start feeling good. This drug blocks nicotine from reaching nicotine receptors in body. Withdrawal symptoms are few.



Side Effects: Trouble sleeping, constipation, vomiting, and nausea



3. Nicorette



These are available as small patches with self-adhesive packing for placing on your arm. They continue to supply small amounts of nicotine all through the day at a steady rate. You change patch daily and overcome nicotine cravings without serious withdrawal symptoms. Nicorette is also available as a chewable gum or as lozenges.



Side Effects: Skin rashes, small eruptions or boils within mouth, indigestion, heartburn, leg pain, and palpitations.



How Good are Prescription Drugs?



These prescription drugs to quit smoking may offer fast results but prove to be a huge compromise on your health. The chemicals in these drugs affect your stomach, liver, and heart severely. They can increase your chances of quitting smoking but may not be worth the risks associated with them.



If you want to avoid the side effects and expenses of stop smoking medications you may want to try a natural stop smoking method like NLP. It has a very high success rate without all the risks and costs associated with medications.
