hi loops,
i used the chantix for the first 2 weeks then switched to flavored toothpicks and lolipops. i don't trust the pharma companies and thought i'd duke it out on my own since the nicotine is gone in 72 hrs. i have had a couple of strung out days but try to remember that i had plenty of strung out days when i was smoking. being a new orleanian can be rough!
i used to have a very active dream life and that disappeared a few years back along with motivation, creativity, libido, concentration , joy, etc.... since i quit the cigs, they are starting to come back. i really thought that it was just the progression of my mental illness and gave up. i am really looking forward to seeing who i am when the receptors heal!good luck with your quit. i know that you can do it too! i found alot of help at whyquit.com. i read the aricles and posts there 2x a day for extra motivation.
thanks,
nolagirl
