A member asked:
Can pain relievers reduce some of the symptoms of withdrawal from nicotine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Opioids should not be use for nicotine withdrawal. You can try reducing your bodies dependence on nicotine by using smaller amounts of nicotine in patches or gum. Chantix works wonders for patients highly dependent on nicotine. It is available with a prescription from your doctor. Some patients don't tolerate it well but the ones that do are amazed at the results.
