I am 57 YO F, smoker who would like to quit, currently smoking about 20-25 per day.  About 8 years ago I tried Zyban (wellbutrin) I cant remember which, and it was working great for about 3 weeks, and it really helped reduce the cravings and I felt great.But- then I started getting itching in my palms and bottom of feet, and in a few days my skin started literally peeling off.  No redness or obvious blisters, just sort of came off in layers,  After discussing with my PCP i discontinued the drug.2 questions- 1 -Do you think it might be safe to try  it again?  If it did not get too severe it might be able to live with it for awhile2 - Could Chantix cause similar reactions- is it based on the same compounds, or ingredients?  I think both are dopamine receptor related so was wondering if the same thing might happen with Chantix.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.URBAN AND CHANT are different Chat Doctor.  But can cause different side effects. The best way to quit smoking is stop it abruptly. WILL POWER is an important tool for the same. Also get a pulmonary function test done, it will tell your lung age and the amount of damage caused by smoking to your lung. This will definitely give you inspiration to quit.  Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
