Okay I quit smoking cold turkey 6 mths ago. Now I have all this anxiety. Has anyone else experinced this too? I never thought I was a sufferer until about two mths ago. Could this be because I dont smoke anymore. 0534 I am thinking maybe i should start again. I hate this feeling.

Yep, unfortunately smoking again will not make it go away.  Keep up the nonsmoking.  It will ultimately be better for you in the long run.  In the meantime, the withdrawl from nicotine will take some time.  Practice relaxation techniques.  Limit the alcohol you drink and definitely stop drinking caffeine!!!  Caffeine is like the worse thing you can do with anxiety!

Good luck,

Are you sure about that? I am really thinking it might stop if I have just one. I am gonna have a talk with my doctor.

I stopped smoking and then I was hit with all this anxiety... it was the worst thing. I had never had a problem until i quit smoking so i thought that the reason was becasue I just needed nicotine.

My boyfriend and I had just one.....which turned to two and I felt so much better... and then felt the anxiety the same. I smoke now. It sucks. Don't have just one - Have none!
