Because of this increase in stress, you can feel your anxiety shoot up for a few weeks as you quit. This tends to occur a few days into quitting and can last a few weeks.
While your stress is higher, your body is also processing and experiencing other physical symptoms of withdrawal. All of this means your attention, mentally and physically may be elsewhere leaving you with a shorter fuse as you adjust. Last time we talked about how nicotine is a stimulant and the lack of it will cause fatigue. In that same vein, the lack of stimulant can manifest in a depressive state for those quitting. It can start the very first day you quit but should decrease with time.
Typically withdrawal-related depression will be gone within a month or so but if you have a history of emotional disorders or depression it can last longer or manifest differently. Without the common supply of chemicals your body expects, it can be difficult for your brain to work as it should. You might feel less alert, have a harder time focusing or paying attention and listening.
This is a typical timeline of withdrawal following your final cigarette:. When you stop smoking, your body craves nicotine. In the first few days and weeks after stopping, you will likely feel some nicotine withdrawals. It's easier to deal with nicotine withdrawal when you know what to expect. Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. When you quit smoking you may experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
These are temporary physical and emotional changes. Think of them as signs that your body is recovering from smoking. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms usually begin a few hours after your last cigarette.
They are usually strongest in the first week. For most people, nicotine withdrawal fade and are gone after about 2 to 4 weeks.
Chat to your doctor or a Quitline counsellor if you find that nicotine withdrawal is lasting longer. NRT helps by replacing some of the nicotine you would normally get from a cigarette. You may still get cravings but NRT products take the edge off. Using NRT can help to reduce withdrawal symptoms. If you are using NRT products but still have strong withdrawal, take a look at how you use them. With the mouth spray some people spray it onto their throat instead of under their tongue or on the inside of their cheek.
You don't puff the inhaler like a cigarette, but instead take lots of little sips. To learn how to use NRT products, visit their individual page: patches , gum , mouth spray , lozenge , inhaler. See your doctor for a prescription. If you're thinking of NRT, we recommend combination therapy : using patches plus a fast-acting NRT product like mouth spray or lozenge.
