Quitting smoking during withdrawal -- do you feel worse?


[ca...]

Recommended Posts

I've taken up cigarette smoking the last few months to help with the anxiety. Now I'm thinking to stop. Well, no cigs today. ha ha. Can you tell me if I'll feel worse by not smoking? Thanks.

Hi

 

I felt better quitting actually. Taking nicotine and any other stimulants during benzo-withdrawal will rev up the central nervous system creating heightened anxiety.  Withdrawal actually helped me quit smoking.  :)

Haha, I did the same thing. Started smoking to deal with the anxiety. I smoked for about a month, and then quit. Like Sam said, I think the benzo withdrawal vastly overshadowed any nicotine withdrawal, and I personally had no problems quitting. I've since started using tobacco again, though.
