No doubt about that part.  I've also read that by going cold turkey, without the use of the med, can also amplify depression, so am I really taking that much more of a risk here?Can anyone tell me their experiences with it?  My sis used it, and it now over a month smoke free!  I want to be able to join her.  Any stories, or tips on dealing with the depression, would be greatly helpful.  I don't need to know the risks from smoking, I'm very well educated on them.Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
