finally getting lab tests! do these medications interfere with lab tests?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm finally getting some lab tests! I'm getting Iron and Ferritin , and

hopefully saliva cortisol, and fingers crossed the female hormones

I am on Paxil 20 mg, and I am wondering if this interferes with results??

Also, I'm going to start CHANTIX to finally quit smoking (! and am wondering

if that somehow interferes with tests?

I can either wait to start chantix until i test, or possibly wait until i quit

smoking completely to test if i have to???

I will be looking into weaning off the paxil (I've done it before) and I'm just

wondering if it interferes with testing in any way / blood work etc....

I'm finally able to buy some proper tests, so I don't want to screw up the one

time I can get them!!!!

Thanks everyone for your help and feedback, it's so helpful it's unbelievable.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
