Avatar n tn smoking is very dangerous and can get out of hand. it is very important to stop as soon as possible. I know friends who have used the cold laser therapy at doctors office and helps them quit and lose weight. Many people have used it and have a positive outcome. i researched some information and found this site helpful http://coldlasertherapy.
763297 tn?1281379425 In fact I used paxil to quit smoking. Xanax and paxil together may be your issue. Check with your pharmacist about the combination of them together. I take paxil at night before I go to bed. The tiredness was bad in the beginning but not so much now. I have noticed when I forgot to take a pill or two, the anger and edginess would show up. If going off of these, you must do it slowly. And with the help of a physician or you will be in wd's in a few days, as you know.
492016 tn?1209358653 Well I recently quit smoking and I started to feel different but not in a good way. I went to the doctor and he said it was nicotine withdrawals (I was sceptical but hes the pro not me). So I waited it out for about a week and things got worse. I decided to go back and see a different doctor and she perscribed me paxil for anxiety and xanax .5mg to help me sleep if I need it. I have trouble sleepings but after reading about xanax im not sure if I want to start taking it.

Avatar n tn I have tried nicorette, patches, hypnosis, chantix, wellbutrin, yoga, acupuncture, cessation classes, therapy and cold turkey to quit smoking. I have smoked for 40 years. When I try to quit I get hysterical, I cry for days and I can't function and I am just overwhelmed with anxiety. I have a very high stress job, I care for an elderly parent in my home, and I am a recovering alcoholic, 20 yrs, so addiction is not new to me.
Avatar f tn Thanks alot, Linda. I do feel determined and not the least bit close to ever taking another puff. Since I'm not able to work, I was close to chain smoking, too. Outside every flippin' 15mins. By the time I got the last relapse under control a yr ago, I was at only half a pack, thankfully, otherwise,the meter would read twice as high. Wow, now that I look at my numbers compared to yours, you must of been smoking every minute - what a hassle, huh. But now you're free - wheeeeee!!
Avatar n tn too often and go into panic attacks. Im trying to quit smoking and also get back on my Paxil. Trying to take it one day at a time.
Avatar f tn They had out these drugs like candy when they are messing with the recepticals in your brain. Paxil is not given for quitting smoking take chantix i did i smoked for 40 years and quit smoking within two weeks with chantix. I HATE PAXIL.
Avatar f tn Google something like the Mayo Clinic or NIH websites and see if they say why quitting smoking might have any effect -- I'd think, just logically, it could only be positive, but it is a stressful thing to do -- anytime you quit an addictive drug or any drug that affects brain neurotransmitters it can be a stressful thing to do and maybe that's why they want you to consult your doc.
903476 tn?1242237037 I quit smoking December 28th 2009. I almost immediately started gaining weight even tho I cut 200 calories a day from my diet and replaced my need for smoking with tooth brushing. I also added another 6 blocks to my daily dog walking. But sadly I still put on nearly 100lbs and my weight now is given my a new whole bunch of health problems. I now have sleep apnea, hair loss, fingernail loss, acne, acid reflux, strange painful and blistering rash`s all over my arms, legs, hands and feet.

1330864 tn?1275270365 Recently someone I know was diagnosed with lung cancer and ive decided to quit a VERY heavy smoking habit. Most days I would have 25-30 cigarettes. Well,I wanted to cut down then quit CT. Today I've had maybe 5 and about 2 hours ago I THINK I had a full blown panic attack. I got weak, sweaty, hot, had to use the bathroom (soory but I did!) and Ive been having some heart palpitations and chest pain.. its crazy how I can not get this anxiety under control.
Avatar f tn I am in constant worry over my dry mouth and taste problems. I went to the doctor and he looked at my mouth and said that it looked normal. I am being treated for anxiety. I would like to know if anyone else has had these problems and if they are associated with anxiety. I have been through this in the past and was told it was anxiety, but I can't stop worrying about it. I recently quit drinking 10 days ago and I have been smoking alot more now. Help!!
Avatar f tn Anyway, regardless of any of that I will be going into 2009 smoke free and is the first New Year in 35 years that I do not have to make a resolution to quit. I was around someone the other day that was smoking in close proximity to me and I actually felt sick to my stomach after being exposed to it. Hmmm, never thought that would ever happen! But I do no this. If I could do it then so can you. I was a 2 plus pack a day for about 35 years.

Avatar m tn Hello, I am a 20 year old male from Texas and I have been very healthy up to this point in my life. I quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana 3 weeks ago after a year of use. I have been having many persistent symptoms the doctors are telling me is anxiety but they are varied and last all day everyday for the past two weeks. Most recently i have been experiencing chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a feeling of blood rushing to my head from the back of my neck.

Avatar n tn I smoked for 2 years. I know not a long time but this is how I quit. Ok I started just smoking half then I'd go down to a half of a half. I also chewed gum everytime id get an urge. And I wouldn't smoke that first one in the mornings. Id wait as long as I could then smoke. You could try eating sunflower seeds too. Hope that helps. Good luck! Princess.
Avatar f tn 10 a day is kind of allot, either way it's good you cut down if you were smoking more!! Ugh i quit during my 5th month I'm not proud if how long it took me to quit, I'm pretty sure only way to do it us to quit cold turkey...
Avatar f tn m not a smoker but, When my mom quit smoking she did what my grandpa always said to do If you have a sore throat. It sounds nasty but my mom says works! And I know it works for a sore throat. You drink a tablespoon of vinegar and then right after a tablespoon of honey then drink plenty of water. The vinegar kills bacteria in your throat while the honey soothes it. Hope this helps!!
