Physical side effects

[Storm2021]

Day 4

Fuzzy head yesterday. Anybody else having physical side effects of not smoking?

[Lastquit]

Yeah I'm on day 9 and still getting the night sweats, anxiety and fog brain.

Well done on your 4 days smoke free!!

Well done on day 9.I feel quite crap tbh. Sleep is definitely disturbed and my mouth is constantly dry.

I will push through these horrible side effects.

My sleep hasn't been great either. It will be worth it in the end. Our body is having a clear out at the moment. Have a look at this link. It always good knowing it not just us.

Hey Lastquit , by any chance, are you drinking coffee?

[Lastquit in reply to RoisinO1]

🤣🤣 shows I'm on here a bit RoisinO1

Aw, not at all Lastquit was genuinely asking as caffeine can cause heightened anxiety when we stop smoking 😀 I stopped drinking it when I gave up smoking 7 years ago due to anxiety and only have an odd cup nowadays☕

[Lastquit in reply to RoisinO1]

I do like a cup of tea! But I have dropped my intake of caffeine. I have been drinking a lot of water at the moment.

I can get off to sleep alright, just keep waking up in the night, and it takes me ages to get back to sleep 😴

Yeah, unfortunately, the sleep disruption is a given when we stop and will continue for a few weeks. The anxiety too but great you are drinking water, get out as much as you can in the fresh air will help also. You are doing great!

[Lastquit in reply to RoisinO1]

Thanks. I really appreciate the support 😊

PS Sleep disruption is the most common withdrawal from nicotine and will pass.

Yes! Physical withdrawal is debilitating! I had every symptom. But now four months no SMOKING I’m finally over the hump!
