Have you ever considered how smoking could affect the medicines you take? This topic is often overlooked, but it can significantly impact your health. Smoking triggers enzymes that metabolize drugs, which can alter how your body processes medication. This means that if you smoke, you may require a higher dosage of certain medicines compared to non-smokers. However, if you quit or reduce the amount you smoke, your medication dosage may need to be lowered to avoid any harmful effects. It's always important to discuss your smoking habits with your healthcare provider, as they may need to adjust your medication accordingly to ensure you receive the proper dosage for your needs.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

The winter months can be difficult for many people, particularly those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is a type of depression that occurs every year during a specific season, most commonly during the winter months.

Symptoms can vary however, “winter depression” should not be confused with the sadness or anxiety that can occur during the holiday season. The type of depression associated with SAD is related to changes in daylight hours rather than calendars.

Common symptoms include the following:
• Increased sleep and daytime drowsiness
• Loss of interest and pleasure in activities previously enjoyed
• Irritability and anxiety
• Social withdrawal and increased sensitivity to rejection
• Fatigue, or low energy level
• Decreased ability to focus or concentrate.

SAD can be treated using different modalities such as light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and antidepressants.

If you feel that you may have SAD, please see your healthcare provider for treatment and rule out any other conditions that may cause these symptoms.
