My husband just had the atropine/scopolamine injections by Dr. Gugga. The purpose is to stop smoking. He is now on Belladona, he still has a scopolamine patch, and he has a new Rx for ativan prn. The side effects of these drugs can cause blurred vision, hallucinations, drowsiness. The Dr said he would be ok to work by day 2 which was Wednesday, but he has been acting very loopy. Has anyone had this injection? Did it make you somewhat tired, or did you not remember the events of the day? I had to get my parents to watch our kids while I go to work, because I don't think he would wake up for them. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks
Is this a legitimate clinic?? Did you google these drugs to see what they really do? Atropine dilates your eyes and speeds up your heart; belladonna is a poison; ativan is an anti-anxiety drug; and the CIA used to use scopolamine (a depressant) when they interrogated suspects. A small overdose of any ONE of these drugs can be fatal. This sounds like a very dangerous combination. How on earth are they supposed to help you quit smoking? I doubt seriously that any of them should be prescribed for that purpose. Have you spoken to your regular doctor about this?

I've tried all the gadgets like patches, lozenges, etc. However, if I'm locked up in a 'clinic' for a month that might finally do it. Naturally activities would have to be provided since boredom breeds smoking.
I dont know of a clinic to quite smoking. However there are several websites that have gotten amazing results.

There is an acupuncture school in Chicago IL and Racine WI. I think that the Chicago clinic is a free one. Their website is listed below. If they are too far away from you, call them and ask them to recommend one of their graduates. 1-800-593-2320.

Stop smoking services turn 10: celebrating successes | Resource ...
During the last decade, the smoking prevalence among the general population has fallen from 28 per cent to below 21 per cent.
Public health minister Gillian Merron said: “I am proud of the hard work behind every one of these 70,000 success stories. Every life saved represents a battle against an addiction – a triumph for the individual and their family. Stopping smoking is hard, but thanks to free local NHS stop smoking services, you are up to four times more likely to succeed.”
Patricia Miles, 70, of Brighton, was one of the first smokers to benefit from her local NHS stop smoking service 10 years ago. She said: “When I started smoking everyone did it. My mother, husband and sister smoked. But my son hates smoking and wouldn’t go near the stuff. It feels wonderful to have quit and I am so thankful that my local stop smoking service made me one of the 70,000 lives they saved.”
