Avatar f tn Anyhow, I feel as though basically Im not worthy and this isnt all the time I feel this way just lately and I think it may have something to do with my quitting smoking cold turkey. Im happy that I have decided to stop smoking but at the same time I don't like feeling worthless. Make sense? Okay!
Avatar m tn See Matt, this is why these forums are so great. You get many different perspectives. I never got sick like kathyjo, just felt incredibly edgy and nasty for those few days. Felt like crying alot too...which I did...alot lol. Each person has a different experience, but the one thing in common we all have and I'm sure would agree, is the thought that a cigarette is the answer to our woes and if we would just take that first puff, it would all go away.
Avatar f tn i have suffered depression when i have quit smoking. i started smoking again. i am now on meds for depression so i can quit smoking again. i do think smoking masks emotions. there is a good site to get on about smoking cessation. it is on about .com. there is really good support there.
Avatar f tn So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..
Avatar f tn Hello. I've quit smoking for 3 weeks now after 32 years of smoking. I am using the patch and my doctor put me on zyban when I saw her sept 5 because I couldn't stop crying. The crying has gotten better I feel terrible. I think I'm obsessed with my breathing to the point where I feel it all the time. My chest feels tight. I feel myself inhaling all the time. I've been to the emergency room twice now in two weeks. Chest films taken. They put me on high does prednisone for.
Avatar f tn Nice information about quitting smoking side effects. Quitting smoking side effects are mainly to do with the body trying to detox itself from all of the harmful chemicals that you have been putting into your body by smoking cigarettes. You always have to bear in mind from the beginning of any attempt at quitting smoking that the benefits for you are going to be fantastic. Mild depression or sadness, there goes your best friend that you turned to in need.
Avatar f tn One of the things that helped me was the timeline of how my body was recovering from quitting smoking. Does anyone know of a similar timeline for quitting opiates, specifically hydrocodone? I know it depends on age, dose, and how long using, but a generalized timeline would be great. Again, I'm not talking about the wd symptoms, but how the body recovers. Thanks!
2120637 tn?1335999377 The crazy part about all this is that I never considered all these symptoms to be part of quitting smoking. I thought the stomach flu was somehow lingering and spreading around my body in other ways and kept blaming all the symptoms I was having on the stomach virus and started getting the bad anxiety because I kept thinking it was still the stomach virus but knowing that stomach viruses don't last that long but thinking I must have caught a new strain with changing symptoms lol.

Avatar f tn My trigger, mainly is anger, I thought, until I relapsed AGAIN after April and finally realized my other trigger is my chronic pain. Smoking was helping me cope with it. Smoking also Increases my pain so 38days ago, I was done with smoking for good and I feel very secure in saying that. I don't miss it a bit! I think of it this way. My pain will never go away and anger and stress will always be a part of my life...I have no control over those as they are human emotions...
Avatar f tn It took awhile to get off them, but I suffered absolutly no withdrawal things, nor cravings, nor depression. But, stuoidly went back to smoking over a bad relationship. I wish I had tried the acupuncture to quit this time around in that manner instead of going for the Commits. Some are addicted more than others to these substances. I got bad side effects from some antidepressants and in general I have a low tolerance to medications, even some antibiotics. Anyway, thank you again.
Avatar f tn If you are experiencing ED symptoms, see your doctor right away for diagnosis and treatment options. Treatment may include lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking or losing weight; medications such as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil [Viagra], tadalafil [Cialis], vardenafil [Levitra]) or penile injections; surgery to correct blockages in the veins that drain the penis; or a penile implant.

Avatar n tn The symptoms you are experiencing are most likely, not caused by your resuming smoking. It is more likely that your headaches, GI symptoms and emotional lability have yet another cause and that the stress from the combination of symptoms has led you to resume smoking. That is, something other than smoking is causing your symptoms and, for that, you may have to see your doctor.
Avatar n tn Wellbutrin 150 mg xl worked great for me while quitting smoking. Today I am tapering off the wellbutrin and I have 60 quit days from the cigs. I also lost 8 lbs in 2 months, however not sure if it was the xl or sr or even the current 75 mg hcl that I'm currently on now.
Avatar f tn I quit smoking beginning of March 2016. I am determined not to go back. I told myself whatever happens happens-I'm not going to die right? Not so sure about that now. Anyways, I started so young that I guess I had no idea I had depression and anxiety. It does not surprise me though as that is the reason a lot of people smoke. Ok so at first I was crying uncontrollably. Went to Dr. and they prescribed Cymbalta.
774736 tn?1311331385 If it was as easy as quitting smoking and ALL of your anxiety would go away...that would be awesome...but please try to be realistic, it's unlikely. Lastly, when you figure out an easy way to quit, let me know. I need to do the same!
Avatar m tn Combine that with the negative influence strangely increased cortisol levels and other chemicals that screw with dopamine/serotonin levels, Im primed to experience serious depression and anxiety that I attribute to smoking in general. Quitting smoking solves the sudden onset of depression, but so does switching to vapor that only gives me a nicotine fix. So I (personally) have concluded that some other chemical from smoking cigarettes is the culprit.
