I take famotidine (Pepcid) 40mg four times daily for over 7 years. Prior to that it was ranitidine (Zantac).
My stomach is feeling a lot better since quitting.
Now I'm starting to feel a lowering of appetite if I see or smell cigarettes or ashtrays along with a feeling of disgust and wondering why I ever did that to myself.
I suppose I should keep vigilant against any future cravings but the cravings that come now are fewer and far between... much more mild.
I feel so free. I guess that's the best way to describe it now. Free from the chains of addiction but I hope I didn't speak too soon. I wouldn't want to jinx myself. :-)
