When this happened more than four years ago, I took benedryl on the advice of my pharmacist. I took it at nine. At 11:00, I was in the emergency room--flying. They pumped me full of valium and sent me home. I fell asleep from midnight to five. And then I was wired again and hysterical.
Thanks for the thoughts. I'd rather just have a smoke, frankly, than do any of this. I really do believe that smoking cessation caused this.
I can say that because it caused dermititis, which went away when I started back up again; reflux, which went away a year later when I started back up again; TMJ--with the worst headaches known to man, which went away as soon as I started smoking again.
I'm reasonably sure that the stress of childbirth and multiple deaths of beloved family members was simply too much to take without a cigarette. That will be the topic of today's therapy session.
To smoke or not to smoke,
that is the question.
Whether 'tis rational in the mind to suffer
the panic and anxiety of incurable insomnia
or to take Marlboros against the sea of troubles
and by smoking end them. To smoke, to sleep--
no more--and by smoking say we end
the headaches and the billion stress illnesses
that cessation is heir to.beardy
