Stopped Smoking (not a Q, just advise amp; my story)? -

Stopped Smoking (not a Q, just advise amp; my story)? -

Hey guys, im on my 5th day of not smoking. I have to say already things smell so different - and good. Also my taste. What amazed me the most is the past 2 days I have had so much energy. Where as before I would never want to get up when my alarm went off in the morning, but now I get up automatically 5 mins before it even goes off! Its like my body is so refreshed.

As i-m to conceive, I recommed anyone out there just just give -stop smoking- a go. Once your past that 1st day you have a day to look back on.
All these tobacco companies, and stop smoking companies put it in your head that your so addicted to it - and they make you believe its hard to stop, and that you will need all these products to help you to stop.
Just have a few minutes of each day and actually realise - -its just a stick-, and tell yourself that your not addicted - its just a habbit. That is all it is, a habbit that people want to make so much money out of. ITS ALL IN THE HEAD.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE XXXI support you!
But the road is not as easy for everybody else though.
My friend said his dad tried stopping it, but after a few days, he became unusually bad tempered--from a soft spoken guy to an a$$-kicking one. Then he started again, because he fears th withdrawal will endanger his son(aka my friend)

On a lighter note, another friend of mine had a dad who stopped--after 20++ years of addiction! He did it--although he said that it is hard--but it is worth it. My uncle stopped after his dad died of smoke-related diseases and he started to felt the effects even though he-s just 35.well its 3 weeks today guys!!! WHOOP!!! I feel i- completely over it!

Congrats, you-ve done really well!

Thanks for the inspiration, I really need to quit smoking but my boyfriend smokes around me all the time and it-s really hard. I tried nicotine replacement but it didn-t work, so now I-m going to give cold turkey a real go.I applaud your success and perserverence and I dont mean to rain on your parade, but......the storm is coming. The days ahead will be the worst. Research and personal accounts pinpoint the time beyond Day 7 as the worst.
I hope that your willpower will see you through.
Good LuckCongratulations, keep it up!!!Well done you!!!thankyou. Im proud of you.well done!. . . i stopped a few years ago and felt much better 4 it within the fist week.habits die hard and i found i had nothing to do with my hands so i went off to the chemist and bought those chubba sugar free lolly pops and hey they actually worked for me and they were inexpensive.within a couple of weeks i left them off and never looked back since .try them and see if they will help you too. . .im sure you wont regret it.and all the best .

WELLBRUTRIN TO STOP SMOKING BUT CAUSING ANXIETY? -

i HAVE BEEN ON IT 5 WEEKS FOR SMOKING CESSATION.iTS WORKING i AM DOING WELL. i STARTED ON 300MG NOW I AM ON 400MG BECAUSE I NOTICED CRAVINGS COMING BACK.HOWEVER I DIDNT HAVE ANXIETY BEFORE AND NOW I FEEL I DO. I ALSO DON-T FEEL LIKE TALKING TO ANYONE SOCIALLY AND THATS NOT HOW I AM! SO I FIGURE THIS IS A SIDE EFFECT... SHOULD I WAIT IT OUT AN HOPE IT SUBSIDES? OR SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON IT 5 WEEKS AND DONT SEE IT LESSING GET OFF IT? ALSO I DONT HAVE DEPRESSION SO IF SOMEONE DOESNT HAVE DEPRESSION WHAT WILL WELLBRUTRIN DO?WILL IT MAKE YOU GET DEPRESSION??? OR WILL IT JUST WORK THE WAY IT DOES WITH PEOPLE WHO NEED IT AND MAKE IT SO YOUR NOT DEPRESSED (SO KEEP ONE WHO NOT DEPRESSED THE SAME) ALSO I DONT FEEL ENERGY FROM THIS PILL OR ANYTHING. I JUST DONT FEEL LIKE MYSELF ON THIS THOUGH. I READ ALOT OF PEOPLE SAYIN ITS A GREAT DRUG WAIT IT OUT ,BUT THOSE ARE PEOPLE USING IT FOR DEPRESSION WHICH I AM NOT.I JUST WONDER IF I SHOULD WAIT CUZ THIS PILL MAY MAKE ME FEEL GOOD OR IF I SHOULD GET OFF IT BECAUSE IT MAY BE WORKING THE REVERSE FOR ME SINCE I DIDNT HAVE DEPRESSION ANXIETY.IM CONFUSED HERE! THANKSCigarettes have natural anti depressants in them and when people stop smoking they sometimes become depressed. Also people tend to smoke when they are anxious. Wellbutrin could be causing the depression and anxiety and it may not be withdrawl symptoms from quitting cigarettes. You should see your doctor and get their opinion about it since medicines like Wellbutrin can cause people to become more depressed and anxious instead of making those feelings go away.I felt exactly the same way with Wellbutrin.

Do talk with doc, and if he advises you to stop the Zyban, can ask him about Chantix.

(I am using the patches.....successfully. No matter what a person tries, it is going to be uncomfortable to quit nicotine).quit yelling and inform your doctor.

PLEASE, don-t tell me to stop smoking. I already have. I-m just curious about the statistics concerning lung cancer for someone who smoked for ten years (somewhat heavily) but quit before they turned 30, like smoked from 20-30.1-15 chance.Everyones different though but 10 years of smoking(even heavily) wouldn-t give you cancer.
