In January I got the flu and even though I'm a healthy 27 year old man, I got pneumonia and was out for over two weeks. I can't help but point my finger at my constant vaping.
I've been using patches (and duct tape) for the past 2 days. Went from 90-120 mg nicotine per day to 21 mg, and now the craving is REAL. Several times a day I have to fight with myself to not go and buy a disposable vape.
I'm feeling on edge, my gums hurt, I get headaches. On the other hand, though, I already feel as though my airways are less restricted and I can breath more Freely.
Just wanted to express how it's been for me so far in hopes that others can relate. If you're so inclined, please leave a post about how you're feeling so far and how long ago you quit. If there are enough replies, maybe I can gauge what people are feeling based on the number of days from their quit date.
Welcome, glad you are here! I think we all vary in how we felt physically when we quit. I've struggled with insomnia, but was prepared for that from prior attempts. In the early days I was definitely short tempered. But I noticed the improvement in breathing within days and it's continued to improve. I'm on day 73 and starting to feel more normal again. Still struggle with insomnia, but that might be the Wellbutrin or just me, I've never slept very well. Stay close and reach out for support when you need it. What do you use the duct tape for?
