Give and get support around quitting
Wondering how everyone on here dealt with the depression and anxiety that comes with quitting smoking? meds? etc?
Thank you for the information.
I am feeling unnatural and abnormal with my 7 days.
Your information on the brain was helpful.
Before I quit I was dealing with acid reflux, peptic ulcer, diverticulitis, generalized anxiety with moderate-severe heart palpitation, contusion of the hip, sleep apnea and two packs a day. Would see all type of specialists and their recommendation was to stop smoking. For my mental help, medication prescribed but I would not take it for my anxiety. Went to herb doctor and did not follow his recommendation. Vitamin taken randomly. I never kept the appointment with the dietician.
I have made a conscious decision to work with the pulmonary doctor, I am following her suggestions and trying the medications she recommended. I also received a stop smoking package that lead me to this site. I am hoping I will be wean off the medication.
My visits to specialists and primary doctor, I am listening and I am encouraged to continue to stop smoking.
I've tried several times to stop and by the 3rd day, I am at the store before it opens. This time the different is I am not doing it alone. I am educating myself about nicotine, mental illness and following directions.

Thanks for this information. I didn't know this. I just know that I quit over a year ago and still don't feel ok. I'm working on it.
