Dont understand?

[Peddler]

Hello everyone!  I have a quick question.  I am on day 151 without a smoke.  The longest I've been in 34 years.  Now the question I have is this. When will i start feeling better?  Since I quit smoking I just dont feel that great. I had more energy and drive when I was smoking.  I know that probably dont make any sense to you but it's the truth.  My cravings are down to just one or two a week and they are very mild.  It's just the way I feel. Even my family says they think I felt better when I smoked.

I agree I felt the same way and still do at times and only about 60 days in my doctor told me to take B12 500MG AND B1 100MG gives me more energy to get motivated plus whatever your body don't need you just per it out ask your doctor about it

Thanks everyone for the help!

I have talked to my doctor and all blood work came back good.  My blood pressure did get a little out of normal after I quit smoking but I got put on meds for that and now everything is where it should be.

Glad for the good news from the Doctor...Peddler ... perhaps giving it more time ... and see .... also, when your energy is down...get moving...exercise, walk, etc., often our metabolism slows down from quitting...and we have to bump it up...~ Colleen

Your lack of energy may be due to the lack of dopamine that the cigarettes produced which may be lacking since you quit. Here is a blog you may want to read and research others by using the search engine.

Glad you saw a doctor and everything checked out OK.  Give it some time.  There is a lot of healing to occur after eliminating nicotine and a multitude of chemicals from your body.  The thyroid (hypothyroidism)  issue doesn't normally occur until one to two years after quitting.  Keep moving forward.
