hi all, i into day 11 well amost over - it kind of feels that the quit days are going faster at the moment.........mood was ok this morning not as bad as its been....had a bad crave around early evening, just kind of thought how much i would love a fag - but it was a just thought & it passed gr8 i rejoice when every day is almost done.. well done me xxxxxxxxxxx

heres a question, i am feeling lethargic since quit - ive read on here that its the nicotine leaving body, well because im on patches & still getting it, why do i feel lethargic?? would be great to know anyone thanks xx

JMHO but I think its a bit to do with nicotine being a stimulant and that cigarettes are a more effective delivery method.

I too had a bit of lethargy, and even now I need more sleep in order to function properly.

11 days is great, keep it up and before you know it you'll be counting in months!! :D

Hi KitKat,

I know what you mean. I quit using patches & lozenges so technically still getting nicotine. In my head, my way of thinking I had stopped, & have stopped smoking. I put some of my lethargy down to depression which was there when smoking anyway. I figure that if I feel bad now for whatever reason it is, I have stopped smoking & whatever it is I am going through will sort itself out or get sorted.

So long as a fag does not enter my mouth that is all I care about. Will sort everything else out as it comes.

Hope that helps hun.

Love Gaynor xx

I don't know if it is generally recommended, but personally I have been taking a multivitamin since quitting, and am not noticing any lethargy. No doubt better diet would be better, but who has time these days!?

Hi KitKat

Well done you on day 12 now that's great keep it up

I didn't use patches but as I understand it you get less nicotine from them than you do from fags so maybe that's why you feel lethargic just now but it will pass as well

Love
