In the year 1994 (if I remember right) Finnish doctors medical guide (Pharmaca Fennica) there was a mention that biperiden (brand name Akineton) can be used for addiction to nicotine (while it's main purpose is a drug for Parkinsons disease). Also my doctor have mentioned it. However, when I asked for info from pharmacist this year, it seems that this use of Akineton has dropped out in a new Pharmaca Fennica.

If anyone knows recent info about this, I would like to know from it also (you can e-mail me).
