[ca...] Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sa...] Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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.

[...] Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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.
