I take several medicines for arthritis, pain, restless leg and fibromyalgia. I need to know if anyone has had to have their doseages of medication changed when they have quit. I have been sick or just going thru withdrawls IDK. I stopped using gum on Thursday my day 6 because my IBS seemed really bad. Headaches are hell and I have an upset stomach now for 4 days.
Just wondering if anyone else experienced withdrawls of runny nose (not often) but headaches and upset tummy. I went to American Cancer Society website at http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_10_13X_Guide_for_Quitting_Smoking.asp?from=fast to see what the withdrawl symptons are and it talked about medicines. So just anyone can give me some advice it would help. My hubby and I are on day 8 and only thing he feels is sore throat and little congestion.
Withdrawal symptoms can include any of the following:
- dizziness (which may only last 1 to 2 days after quitting)
- depression
- feelings of frustration, impatience, and anger
- anxiety
- irritability
- sleep disturbances, including having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, and having bad dreams or even nightmares
- trouble concentrating
- restlessness or boredom
- headaches
- tiredness
- increased appetite
- weight gain
- constipation and gas
- cough, dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal drip
- chest tightness
