Er - weird spaced out feeling!

Day 2 of quitting cold turkey - feel strangely not 'with it' though. Spoke to my sister who told me this was normal & probably due to the fact that more sheer oxygen is getting around the body & brain. Nice to know but been thinking about having a fag for hours now but refused!

Perfectly normal Sandypops. I remember feeling really spaced and completely useless at work (more so than normal!) during the first week. I think you're right in that the blood cells that normally carry nicotine are now carrying more oxygen, and your brain is going 'eh what? This isn't normal, whatchadoin'??'...and gets all confused.

Laugh it off, it goes away soon, and your body will soon be nicotine free - good luck with the quit!

It's quite an odd feeling, isn't it? Just ride it through and you'll begin to feel normal again soon Well done for refusing to give in to the filthy little demon! X

That's definitely normal!!

Felt really odd for the first week of my quit, am guessing 'cos there was no CO in my blood and lots of oxygen

Yep, that was day 3 for me and was really shocked as to the reason I felt so light-headed. Definitely gave me motivation to carry on!!

You might experience some more weird and wonderful quit symptoms, so if you're ever worried just come on here and I can guarantee you'll find someone who had the same!

Good luck for your quit
