SO, apparently, nicotine withdrawals make you really depressed!

i did not know that. it's like a physical pain! you're really really sad for no reason and it hurts your body. ALSO, you can't think straight. craziness, man. i have to put on a patch whenever i get super depressed now. i've been cutting back on the nicotine patches and i can really feel it. my brain feels like mud, i'm dumb as a bag of hammers, ten times more childish than usual and DESPERATE for distractions.

don't start smoking, kids. i had an easier time quitting meth and coke.

 

Being a teenager does that to you too.

...So I've heard.

 

it'll only probably last a week or two babe...its like everytime i quit drinking...

 

yowza, man. i feel like there's a huge brick wall in the front of my skull.

 

On the plus side, you're more likely to live now.

 

ha! yeah. unless i wander in front of a speeding truck.

 

cigarette smoking releases all them happy chemicals into your body... it's no wonder you're sad... but think of all the people that will make out with your fresh minty mouth now! arty:

 

I know how you feel. I quit last week. Felt good for a day, then it hit me. Depression.
I assume it is because the chemicals in your brain are being messed around with and lack the stimulant of the nicotine.
Like Jerry said, It should only last a few days, babe.
Me thinks he lies though , I still feel terrible a week later.

I have also read, if you have suffered with deppression, you feel worse.

 

yeah, i get nasty depression and anxiety attacks. but i'm still taking my meds.

 

Perhaps the meds are finding equilibrium after not having to deal with the influx of nicotine. Anyhoo, I think you deserve a *hug*

 

aw, thanks, that's sweet. i'm all tenderhearted right now. i wasn't expecting that.

 

I know this will sound like a thousand other, I quit once stories.. lol but oh well...

wellbutrin the antidepressant helps with that a lot, its also marketed as zyban for quitting smoking.

The last time I was on it was for one month... most people quit after 10 days... I hadn't still, but I had went from almost 3 packs a day to to or three smokes... I also went from 4 or 5 pots of coffee to 3 or 4 cups and from 1/8oz of pot a day to a joint or two...

Had no headaches, no depression, no anxiety...

of course, all that has reversed since... lol

 

No worries.

 

ya know...when i quit coke, it wasn't that bad...but the last time i quit cigs, it was AWFUL. i've cut back A LOT and i can feel the mental pain from it...it's weird!

honestly, the gum works better than the patch...keeps your mouth busy. try that instead...the low dose nicotine gum and chew it ONLY when you feel a craving

 

the gum makes me feel ill. i don't wanna develop an oral fixation.

 

:smilielol5::leaving:

 

*sigh* i'm tho thmart.

 

heres something interesting for your thread..
My dad had smoked from age 11 to 68.. Then the Dr's try and tell dood cant smoke no more..
While he got better, he got worse.. having trouble regulating his blood pressure..
While Im a genius and watch House. I had mentioned this to the dr's and that taking nicotine completely out his system has caused his system to fail..
Dr's put him on some kinda nicotine patch and his dizzy spells have seized..
And they think they are so smart. They should watch the House and get smarter..

 

Or a tornado.
Pretty sure wandering into a tornado is bad.

EDIT: I meant to post this way back, forgot and went downstairs. Nevertheless it's staying.

 

When I quit smoking a feel an aching feeling of lack, and my self-image turns into that of a boring 80-year old man at the end of his life, having nothing to look forward to but hard work, illness and death; and no women or fun.
