Our Stop Smoking Program works at the molecular
level to block the nerve impulses that nicotine
withdrawal creates, and thereby Relieves the
Physical Withdrawal Symptoms.
The medicines are FDA Approved,
and have been used for over 100 years in anesthesia prior to
surgery, testing of the eyes, for prevention of nausea, and
poison antidotes. The medicines are ATARAX
and SCOPOLAMINE. They are members of
a family of drugs called anticholinergics -
which block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Atarax and scopolamine attach to the
millions of extra nerve endings created by chronic smoking,
and block the excess acetylcholine that is produced while
smoking and immediately after quitting. Blocking the nerves
prevents the messages associated with nicotine withdrawal
from being sent to your brain and body organs, somewhat like
the way Novocain blocks pain messages when you are at the
dentist's office.
ATARAX & SCOPOLAMINE BLOCK
YOUR PHYSICAL WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS
Your initial dose is supplemented with
two weeks of follow-up anticholinergic medicines to maintain
therapeutic effectiveness while nicotine is removed from
your body. Although it only takes approximately three days
for your body to break down nicotine, the symptoms remain
until the acetylcholine concentration and receptor numbers
return to normal levels - about two weeks.
Since nicotine also influences the
memory and pleasure center of your brain, there is a
Psychological side to the addiction that needs management.
Medical Stop Smoking Center helps you
with the Psychological cravings by providing extensive help
and resources. This process was developed
in 1992 after 12 years of studying behavioral changes in
smokers. The end result is a step-by-step program that, if
followed as described, will guide you through the necessary
lifestyle changes to become a non-smoker for life.
