Suffering From Anxiety & Depression
I have anxiety and post traumatic depression. I currently take cymbalta and am doing great. However, I smoke cigarettes and want to quit. I have tried the patches and it is not working. What pill could I safely take without it stirring up my anxiety and depression?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you should try bupropion and that would help to decrease craving and anxiety symptoms both. You can also try nicotine patch to decrease the withdrawal symptoms. In that, you feel disturbed sleep, you can try low dose benzodiazepine that would help you to control anxiety symptoms.
