i know exactly, im a moderate smoker...half pack its like a vent to stress.
You know...i don't want to give the pet awnser to this, but Wellbutrin, or the antismoking med Zyban would be a good option for this....its just wellbutrin can cause anxiety vary bad since it increases NE levels. I'm not going to recommend Chantix, i've read horrid stories of adverse reactions from it, they need study nicotine addiction, not replacing it with a horror substance.
For me...when I smoke, its goes in and goes out, its pleasant for me both doing something with my hands and the nicotine....its the dopamine it targets...and after you stop drugs that increase dopamine it will have effects of withdrawl...i stopped alot of stimulant drugs and it was horrible, still today...i am still not recovered...and trying to learn how to naturally stimulate myself to read, and function like normal.
I am so sorry your having the psychcal effects, nuerontin would DEFINTLY help the shakes and anxiety in the stomach...since benzos are always controvertial with doctors, some like em, others hate him, and some are in between.
hang in there...me stop smoking...omg, that would be like being pulled off stimulants couple years ago and I would just have to natraully learn how to function without it.
