Welplex Stop Smoking Clinics Review
Welplex stop smoking clinics are clinics which provide stop smoking shot treatment plus behavioral therapy. They have several clinic or network in franchise system. Most of them located in United State of America (USA). Example: in Tampa Florida, You can check them in available clinics page in this website.
They use a method called “Anticholinergic Blockade” in their shot to stop smoking treatment. They use two medicine : scopolamine and atropine in a formula. If you don’t know quit smoking shot, I can explain briefly here. This treatment using a formula of drugs (scopolamine/atarax or scopolamine/atropine) which injected or shot in to the body behind ear, hip or buttocks. The substance of this medicine spread to all over the body, when it is in the brain it will blocks the nicotinic receptor to feel nicotine. After that you will stop cravings for nicotine. Followed by oral medication for two weeks you will have the change to be free from your nicotine addiction if combined with support program and your determination. Again the main factor to success is your strong will, period.
This is an excerpt from their website:
“Our Guarantee: In a Retrospective Study performed by Welplex (see clinical studies) we concluded that 88% of patients treated with our patented protocol remained smoke free after 60 days and 56% remained smoke free after one year. Should you start to smoke within a one year period, our doctors will treat you one additional time for free (follow up prescriptions not included). Patients will only have to pay a $45.00 office visit charge. You have nothing to lose but your habit. So make the call today!. For your convenience, patients are seen in the evening hours. Please be sure to have someone come with you to drive you home. You may eat lightly before treatment. Don’t worry, it is normal for your consumption of cigarettes to increase as your appointment time draws closer. It will not make any difference how much you are smoking when you arrive at the clinic.”
Related to government patent issue they stated on their website (excerpt):
“Our Treatment Method has been issued a United States Government Patent. Unlike nicotine patches, gums, inhalers or antidepressants (Zyban), our treatment method directly blocks nicotine receptor sites, thereby providing immediate relief from the torment of nicotine withdrawal.
When you reference The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (Ninth Edition - Chapter 7), you will note: the medications that directly block nicotine receptor sites are atropine and scopolamine. Both are in a classification of medications known as anticholinergics. These medications have been around in medicine since the mid-1800s and have a variety of uses.
When you block nicotine receptor sites, you replace the effects that nicotine has in the body. Therefore, there are no cravings for nicotine or withdrawal symptoms. More importantly, because there is no increased demand for nicotine receptor sites, due to nicotine stimulation, the body’s natural chemistry will revert back to that of a non-smoker. These medications are, in themselves, non-addictive. We have developed the precise combination of anticholinergics that allows patients to quit smoking without the usual withdrawal symptoms.
U.S. Government Patent Issued: The facilities director, Paul J. Hudson, has dedicated himself to the research and treatment of tobacco dependency since 1986. While universities and other scientific organizations seek to document the precise process of tobacco dependency, Mr. Hudson, along with licensed physicians, have focused on the practical applications of treating the addiction. Based on clinical experience, with thousands of patients participating, the patent encompasses the best that medical science has to offer for the treatment of nicotine addiction.
In addition to the chemical disturbances at nicotinic receptor sites there are noted chemical changes in the medial forebrain bundle. This is commonly known as the Reward Center of The Brain. Nicotine stimulates the release of the chemical Dopamine in this region. This encourages the continuation of a behavior, giving the psychological aspect of nicotine addiction both a physical and behavioral side. With the use of pharmocotherapies and specifically designed behavioral modification techniques, we can effectively address all three areas of nicotine addiction. Statistically, this three sided approach produces the highest levels of success with the lowest rates of recidivism.”
To treat psychological aspect of nicotine dependency this clinic offers behavioral therapy with “Changing Attitudes to Last a Lifetime” protocol. They use use a simple three step behavior modification program:
* Step One: Interrupt Physical and Emotional Routines
* Step Two: Experience Physical Pleasure of Not Smoking
* Step Three: Experience Emotional Pleasure of Not Smoking
Note:
I invite anyone who had success with this kind of treatment to quit at this clinic to send testimonial here in the comment form. I thought it will give a different point of view which may be useful for the others especially smokers who want to take care of their health and start to quit lighting cigarettes.

Years ago, 1987 to be exact, my husband and I received the shots in Houston, TX. It absolutely worked for me. It did not work for my husband. In fact, he hallucinated quite a lot and started smoking again several weeks later. At this time I quit smoking for 10 years. I credit The Welplex Program entirely. I am trying to find another Welplex Clinic in the Pennsylvania area (where I now live) because I started smoking again in 1998 and would like to quit. I have tried patches, gum, hypnosis and Chantix and the only thing that worked was the Welplex program. The reason I started smoking again was because I was going through a very bad time in my life and just didn’t care. I kick myself every day for starting again.

I was made aware of Welplex 2 years ago by a friend who asked me to provide transportation for him when he took the treatment. I scheduled treatment a couple weeks later and have been cigarette free for two years. I had tried every method to stop smoking but was unable to quit. I had smoked for 35 years. When I went into the clinic I finished a cigarette at the door. Since the treatment I have not had any cigarettes. My wife also quit with Welplex approx. one year ago. Today she is smoke free. I highly recommend this treatment.

My husband started smoking only a week after the shot. I am so bummed because I know he can do it!! Before he got the shot he said he wanted me to be supportive of him to quit, well..I am by giving him a hard time when he picks up another cigarette right?! He has been smoking for over 12 years. We couldn’t afford the Welplex shot to begin with but we were able to pay it knowing that this would pay off-give him a healthy longer life, but now he is smoking cigars and starting back into cigarettes-what do I do?? How do I handle this? Or do I not?

Jen,
I believe that with the Welplex you have one year, that if you start smoking again you can go back and get the shots all over again for free…. Anyway, that is what I heard, not sure if its true… I know 2 people that have done the shot and they had smoked for nearly 30 years… I have been smoking for 20 years, I really hope its works for me…
Wish me luck y’all!

I went to a Welplex center in Raleigh, NC 2/3/2005 and have been nicotine free since. It is miraculous, really, but it helped me quit and stay quit after being a 32 year, 1.5 pack a day (or more) smoker. I was looking for the site information for a relative but was unable to locate one between Greensboro and Charlotte, NC?

I quit using the treatment about 12 years ago and started smoking again about 15 months later at a party and with in a week was back to 1 pac a day. When I looked for a place to get treatment again I found the clinic had closed in the Dalls / Ft Worth area and the closest was Tampa. I called and talked the the office there and desided I like the treatment and knew it worked so I bought the liciening for this area. Like the shver commercial of a few years ago I like it so much I bought the company. We’re now open and having 1-2 clinics per month as it takes time to get the word out but the success rate on the first two clinics is 90% with only one retreatment so far. I believe in this and will retreat any patients for the first year at greatly reduced cost guaranteed. I’m looking to get the word out to the local doctors and dentist for referrals of this valuable resource for their patients.
THIS WORKS I KNOW IT AND BELIEVE IN IT AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE BUT THE HABIT.

Question to those that have tried or researched - my husband wants to try this after having smoked for 30 years. He is also taking medication for psychotic depression - the meds keep him level with no issues, but changes to his meds cause a psychotic episode, which can be extremely dangerous.
Has anyone come across this as potential issue?
Thanks!
