Cigs, anxiety, xanax

[pachuca]

I have been smoking since i was 16 i am 20 now. As of yesterday i have a strong urge for nicotine but my body just seems to be rejecting it. Nausea, anxiety,awful taste etc. This commonly would be considered a good thing but its to drastic of a change all at once. I take 40mg prozac,300 wellbutrin xl,xanax and adderol and it never effected my nicotine intake. I find that smoking causes me to shake my leg alot which is really unattractive in my eyes because in a social setting i seem almost anxious when im not my nerves just feel shot. I have an electric cig i think im going to throw my cigs away and try to use the e cig when i have a craving. Any support,advice, or ideas would be greatlyappreciated. Thank you

well i know how hard it is to quit smoking...i've done it. 6 months after i quit, i still get the urge to smoke...but i'm really glad i quit. i recommend the same thing...but the only way to really be able to do it is if you actually really want it. otherwise, you can just forget it. it won't happen. out of all my addictions...i've never been so psychologically dependent on something in my life.

anyway...i don't recommend chantix. i really think it's a rip off and i think the best way to deal with the addiction is head on...maybe with nicorette gum and/or patches.

I am 54 and started smoking about 10 years ago. I would stop for a few months and then start again. I found I smoked from bordom and running out of my Klonpin and Xanax too soon. I really don't like the feeling of hot smoke going through my throat and into my lungs. Then I get this caugh the next morning. When I get a cold or have to stay in bed a few days, I don't smoke. I take advantage of that time to start the no smoking cycle. What really helps for me is to have about 4 rolls of Sweet Tarts in my pocket and start munching when I get the erge to smoke. It replaces the habit with a little better habit. After a while I can't stand the smell of people smoking.
Good Luck!
