            Often when people quit smoking they may find that medications that were adjusted for them while
            smoking may be altered in effectiveness once quitting. People on hypertensives, thyroid, depression, blood sugar drugs, and others may need to get
            re-evaluated for proper dosages once quitting.

    I saw a post up earlier asking when a person returns to &quot;normal&quot; after quitting. This string addresses the issue of what is &quot;normal.&quot;
    &quot;Normal&quot; levels for certain people of certain neurotransmitters or hormones or other chemicals may not be what is normal or the right amount of

    physical measurements or by verbally communicating how you feel while under treatment. The treatment for one condition though is your primary

  This thread is important for anyone who is on a maintenance drug for long-term medical conditions.  Please see your doctor if you have any issues or
  questions about your condition and if perhaps you might require a dosage adjustment based upon any symptoms you might have.

  Hi Joel (or whomever else may have this info )---i have been reading up on withdrawal symptoms, and the possibility that the newly nic-free individual may
  need medication adjustments. thyroid was mentioned, and i&#39;m assuming that would be hormone replacement therapy. i have been on thyroid hormone for years,
