Did you feel terrible for a long time after you quit smoking?

I've had a mixed bag of emotions since stopping 6 months ago. I used patches for 2 months since then nothing. At first I was euphoric that I managed to stop after 20+ years smoking. Then I got bouts of melancholy depression and can still get very sensitive and easily upset as well as short tempered. I am still thrilled to be non smoker.

However, my periods have become very erratic and there may be another reason for it all - I'm getting blood tests for hormone levels and thyroid - my doctor said that once the nicotine is actually out of my system which will have happened a couple of days after stopping the patches then not smoking should not be causing these problems.

Maybe do the same and have some blood tests, assuming you are female and started smoking as a teenager then we are similar ages and could be going through the same thing totally unrelated to stopping smoking!

When I quit it was like flicking a mental switch. I no longer did that or was that person. Now looking back there were a few times that picking up a cigarette would remind me of the young vicarious person I was. I think that indulging in the habit made me feel young and invincible at first when I would go to pick up a cigarette again. However now I'm just so annoyed by anyone who has to adjust their activities to accommodate a smoking habit. I hate having to wait up for someone who is still smoking or finishing their cigarette all the time. In a car or a restaurant while the person is outside.. So really I am not a smoker anymore and it's been about five years.. Maybe three years since I last "mingled" with one. Since smoking was still tied in with a few habits. Astrologically, if just transits.. Neptune transit was in Aquarius and it was approaching a trine with my natal Pluto.. Uranus Pisces was transiting the last degrees of my 12th and approaching conjunction with my ascendant.. And in some time to come following after that, the Uranus transit was going to square my Neptune and trine my Uranus- if that helped maintain the act of quitting any better. So I would guess to find the "how" or style of how you would quit in your chart. Maybe there is something with Uranus, Neptune, 12 th house involved.. My 12 th house is aquarius so ruler of 12 th is Uranus. I would have to talk to more people to be sure of how to answer this question in a way that includes everybody. Some reasons for quitting were $$, health since I was developing sensitivities in my skin and respiratory system.. I had been smoking five to ten years, the first five were casual and not regularly.

Hell guys go through this too , I am a mess , smoked 22 years and i tell ya , it has been a roller coaster ride!! Just stay of the internet while trying to diagnose your symptoms of withdrawal cause that can lead to a lot of dead ends and needless worry and even panic. Just know that what ever it is you are feeling is most likely a side affect of your body readjusting after years of horrible abuse and detrimental behavior.

You need a good and natural spray which can help you to relieve symptoms.

I recommend you to visit doctor for some advice.

Also there is one spray which i can recommend to you. It helped to me and my friend. Sure, we were really patient and motivated.

Try some willpower, don't know why people think there is a magical solution for everything in the form of a pill!!!!

these thoughts are proven to be from the chantix an i highly reccomend that you stop taking it if you still are. talk to your doctor and he will be able to provide more information on it than i.
