Dr's Office Visit.... Freakin Cool

Hey so look I go to my doctor yesterday. So after we discussed what I initially went there for. I asked him about Chantix to help stop smoking.
He recommended another drug to help with Xyban I believe. He said there
is an equivalent that does the same thing. I said but isn't there weight gain asscociated with that.

Long story short Doc whips out a friggin og Droid...
He goes into some medical site or program looks up the drug he
prescribed to me; showing the side effects.
I was blown away...............
Just thought u android heads would like that.
Oh btw Docs about my age. Mid 40's to 50 ish

Wow I'm busy today..... :D :rolleyes:

I took a class this semester & my professor has an og Droid as well :).

My doctor has a blackberry. Not as cool.

Awesome, also good for you making an effort to stop smoking... I am a non-smoking nazi so now when I see you post I'll ask how it's going :)

Another thing about Zyban is technically an antidepressant drug. You may find yourself walking around with smile on your face for no reason.......:)

Doc

Lol thanks Doc

Zyban is Wellbutrin with a different label. Exact manufacturer, same everthing except the name. Zyban is for short term use and Wellbutrin for long term as an antidepressant. If you have a life insurance policy that says you are NOT a smoker, then ask your doc for a prescription of wellbutrin so they won't catch on, they do look.

The thing he looked up on his Android is the PDR (prescription drug reference) that doctors use...its a big arse book, but they make it for all operating systems for pcs, androids, and im almost positive for blackberry...cool tool!

Yup, one of my loyal customers is a doc that uses this database/app for such references. Says he'll never go back to blackberry, but I can't imagine it'll be long before BB will pick up on this front as well, if it isn't already. Still, a very cool thing.

It really blew me away; hey thanks for all the encouragement and the info everyone.
One thing I did find is that it can increase libido as well.
Heck I may just keep a severe case of depression.....
I'm soooooo twisted.

Pop a Xyban and a Viagra and your all set for the weekend :D

Just go cold turkey. That's what I did. I feel much better this way that I didn't have ANOTHER chemical take me off. Barely any weight gain either (although your metabolism is automatically going to slow down once you stop smoking no matter what way you quit, just stay working out and you will stay fit).

Cool story though.

Viagra? Isn't that the blue pill to prevent old men from rolling off their beds at night?

i know this may sound 'tarded but i smoked for 19 years and i quit by going to one of those mass "hypnotizing" ads you find in the newspaper. it worked for me mainly because i believe i was just ready to quit. i haven't had one puff or one little desire to smoke since leaving that night. however anytime i hear an old fashioned phone ring i find myself getting up from the floor totally nude and with a mouth full of shampoo.....but i don't think they're related.

I love how the threads go into new topics of conversation lol

Cold turky, the only way I could. Quit years ago.

@Trendy....You can do it bro, I hear the meds work for a good percentage that try. I assure you, the grass is greener (and smells better) on the other side. Good luck!
