'on THIRD day of zyban, i FELT LIKE I HAD DONE 4 LINES OF COCAINE. this effect lasted for about 6/7 hours. don't think that this was pleasant: it was horrid.
later and up until the 7th day,
the "felt like i did coke" effect
happened off and on continuously,
plus ADD ONTO THAT:
tingly sensation in arms,
hands uncontrollably shaking and trembling,
brain REALLY slow and body SUPER fast,
3 day migraine,
sleeplessness,
loss of appetite,
absolute restlessness and
that general state of being on a speed high and NOT WANTING TO BE
and finally dizziness like "the spins" when trying to sleep.
on the 6th day, i QUIT ZYBAN. on the 7th day, i QUIT SMOKING. it's been 5 days. i actually
think i've done it this time. that old adage is really true: you'll quit when you're ready....'

Me, no ... and not so eager to after that, lol .... tried patches once when they first came out, worked pretty well ... tried the gum a couple of times, and like ralfph it fully cured me of any present or future gum addiction ... snoose could be the answer, or chaw ... get a wad of Red Man going but practise your aim in the woods before attempting mixed company environments ... or just quit.
A couple of times for me even the first few days were fine, like an adventure, a new project ... one time i hadn't kayaked solo for a long time and it is a treat to do so, much easier than tending to others ... so i just launched off with basic stuff for almost a week - rice, sardines, fruit, trail mix, tea, water ... no tobacco, no beer ... it was a great time, i did bum a couple from some fishermen but hey that's allowed eh ... heh heh.
Actually quitting is not that hard ... what's hard is not starting back up ... so if you just eliminated one cigarrette - the next one - you'd have it beat ... what the hell, it's only one -g- |
