Hello, I am new to the site as I just found it. I am 23 days into my life as a non-chewer. I used to go through at least 1 tin a day, some days would be closer to 2. This has been hell on earth as of late. I have been very dizzy, have had chest pains, get tingeling feelings in my legs and fingers, have a hard time getting a deep breath of air, and the worst headaches ever. I have had multipul panic attacks as my anxiety is off of the charts, I have lost 30 pounds because the anxiety caused gastritis that made feel like I couldnt eat, I have been to the hospital a few time becuase of these symptoms and the Doctors all say the same thing that all of my test come back normal and I have anxiety. I have never been like this before so I figure it has to be withdrawal from nicotine. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms.

Mister,
Yes many of us experience anxiety and panic attacks. As these guys have eluded to my anxiety was intense. I went to the ER two times convinced I was dying. I went to the doctor more times in my first 100 days of quitting than I did the prior 15 years.
I tried a number of different things to get me over the anxiety. I can tell you today that it is all good. I feel better than I ever have. Anxiety is gone !!
1. Work out. Getting your heart rate up kills craves and anxiety.
2. Meditate. You have to replace the bad thoughts you are having with good ones.
3. Tea. There are some teas out there designed to help with anxiety and they worked well for me.
Like Banner says... nice nasty little addiction we have. Keep posting your promise and keep that shit out of your face. It really does get better !!!

How long into your quit before your anxiety was gone completely? I've still been having nights where I'll wake up in the middle of the night trembling and feeling like I'm dying.

Probably somewhere around day 250 or so. I know the symptoms got to be less and less as the days went on. You just have to get your mind to shut off all the negative chatter. Exercise was huge for me...
-
I guess everyone is different. My anxiety still gets to me. I was on medication for a while, but hated the side effects. I probably need to go see a doctor about alternatives.

Sorry to hear you are having these anxiety problems. But you can control this. Most of the time, panic attacks are caused by shallow, irregular breathing. When you notice your anxiety (nervousness) level rising, check your breathing. If it is shallow and/or quick, take a deep breath and hold it for 4-5 seconds and let out slowly. Unfortunately, doctors don't tell you how to fix the problem, they just want to throw you a drug to mask the symptoms.
And you may have been prone to anxiety for years, and the nic pulled you through it. Now, you have to learn how to relax without nic.
Anxiety Symptoms can be a multitude of things, http://www.npadnews.com/anxiety-symptoms.asp (http://www.npadnews.com/anxiety-symptoms.asp)

Great Post ! You are right that you have to learn to manage the symptoms. For me the biggest thing for me to do was to learn to control my "mind chatter" the negative thoughts, worrying about my health etc.
Find what actually triggers your anxiety and figure out ways to overcome it. You will be glad you did.

That is true. Negative thoughts (whatever they may be) can create internal stress which builds over time and eventual causes a health problem(s). When a negative thought comes on, replace it with something good. If this is hard to do, then look at what is causing the negative thoughts and fix that first (aka job, marriage, finance, etc.).

Ok when you all talk about craves, what exacly are you feeling. I mean as craves are you talking about how dizzy spells show up out of the middle of no where, or how you start getting chest pains that last for a few minutes at a time or how it feels like you have a hard time getting a full breath of air. Or the numbing tingeling feeling in your legs, well ya if these are crave I have been having these all day, mostly been dizzy with a nice headache all day with a few of the others from time to time, I think it is because I am watching football with out a big fat chew in my lip, not that I even want one, but I think my stupid brain does. I was just wondering what everyone else feels when they talk about craves.
-
It's the compulsive reach for the can for me. Weirdest thing. Probably like an amputee feels about a missing limb (though obviously not the that awful degree). Certain shit triggers it...taking a shit, brushing my teeth, washing the dog...fuck certain shit? EVERYTHING triggers it right now. I am also having massive headaches and I am eating like a horse (and gaining weight). Day 3 is turning out to be a real motherfucker.
I ate so many doughnuts this morning I had a sugar high and a massive crash that lasted for hours afterward. Least the headache is gone. WTF? I wish I never started chewing.
-
Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into.
Just keep fighting the shit every day. It does get better... you WILL feel better !!

Hey, the shortness of breath (not being able to take a full breath) sounds like anxiety to me. Some people started dipping to deal with anxiety in the first place (Me). When I quit (110 days ago) I was quickly reminded of this. I had nasty panic attacks that landed me in the hospital. If this continues I recommend seeing your doc. Lexapro is the med I take. It is great because I experience literally no side effects and it is non-narcotic. Just fyi, because I thought all anxiety meds where like xannax and other addictive types.
Craves, to me, are those times in the day when I momentarily lose site of my Quit and consider, even if for just a second, the idea of putting a dip in. You will gain the tools necessary to smack these thoughts to the ground...that is, if you stick to your guns (This Site) and read, read, read.

A crave for me is non of that. What it is is a crazy overpowering desire to pack a wad of skoal longcut mint in my face. because, my still tangled neural pathways think this will make me be able work longer, work faster, enjoy the work i'm doing, mow better, multi-task better, think faster, yada yada yada... you know the drill.
but, it's all a mirage in the sand because scientists have studied this shit to the nTH degree and its all a lie. the nic bitch makes it harder on your mind and your body to do anything. and the more and the longer you "use" the drug the worse it gets. why else would some of our fellow quit brothers go through 2 / TWO yes that's 2 fucking cans of chew per day .....and some even smoke on top of that. at my worst i was on 1 to 1.5 cans per day right before i quit. unfucking believable when you think how absolutely fucking stupid this goddamn addiction really is.

Lance,
I agree with you. Developing a hatred for the habit and the fucks that make it, market it, sell it will help you in your quit.
When you realize they have known for years how addictive this shit is and just made it better, more addicetive to keep you hooked and feeding them money you will never give them another cent.
Keep fighting men..... it does get better.
-
Lance described it the best. Matter of fact, I was looking for a way to describe what a crave is and how I feel when I crave. It is that huge desire to stuff that shit in my face. It's almost like a blowjob when you've been away from the misses (this is of course assuming you are not a cheating asshole)...you just need to have it LOL. I decided to respond to this thread, because I've been dealing w/ the craves really bad today. I mean, today is almost like day fucking one for me. What the fuck is this shit? Oh well, I'm quit w/ you fuckers.

Lance definately hit the crave that I see as the panic crave. Somethimes my whole skeleton wants to jump out of my skin and go down to the corner store and get it's own can. When this happens I see the NIC Biotch screaming at me and the only proper response to this is "Fuck off" 'Finger' .
I find a second "flavor" of the crave that I find scarier than the first. It is when I hit a trigger and without any fanfair or thought what-so-ever, my hand is reaching into my Copenhagen pocket for a dip. Sometimes i realize it as my hand starts to move, but sometimes my hand is digging out the tin of sugarless mints I put in place of the can, and then I remember, "Oh yeh, I quit today".
I am constantly sparring with the crave right now and staying mean about it helps my resolve. I know that fight eases a bit over time but I also know that even after a 2 1/2 year quit, the "Just one won't get you hooked again" crave pops up and 15 years later your quiting from ground zero all over again.
It is always your decision and it is always Now. I just choose to quit NOW, and all NOWs that happen until I post roll in the morning. And I will stay angry and that lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, NIC Bitch because nothing should own anybody the way she owns me, and I ain't gonna take it anymore.

I feel like if I just started chewing again, life would go back to normal. I didnt cave as I never want to feel this hell again. I just had the hardest day so far, I heard depression is part of this quitting process, but man I cried all day today and for no reason either my life is not that bad, ya I have had ral bad anxiety as of late and i started seeing a hypnotherapist for that. But this depression just hit me like a ton of bricks today. Everyone that knows me thinks all of this is from my divorce that happened about 5 moths agao, but I still think it is just the the fing whore nicotine tring to find a way to get me to come back. I will never chew again if this is what it takes to quit, I am just wondering if anyone else is going throught the whole depression and feeling like crying stage, as I feel like I am losing my mind and almost want to check myself into a mental hospital but I know I am not crazy. I am not a sissy guy either who cries often, I mean I played college football for f-sackes Please someone tell me this is a stage like the fog and it will pass in a day or two, i cant take a week or two of this......

misterbeeds, 38 days on your own is bad ass. No one said quitting is easy, but it is totally worth it. I don't think no nic is the problem, I think you need to see a doctor or talk to someone. We are all here to help, jump into chat as there is usually someone in there. You can do this.

I am not a sissy guy either who cries often, I mean I played college football for f-sackes Please someone tell me this is a stage like the fog and it will pass in a day or two, i cant take a week or two of this......
misterbeeds, 38 days on your own is bad ass. No one said quitting is easy, but it is totally worth it. I don't think no nic is the problem, I think you need to see a doctor or talk to someone. We are all here to help, jump into chat as there is usually someone in there. You can do this.
Hey man, i had very similar symptoms in at my mid twenty days. I am very new to my quit as well but i never had depression or panic attacks prior to quitting. I got better after a couple of very melancholy days. I was a state qualifying wrestler from my freshman year on and also felt like i was being a pussy - YOUR NOT! KEEP UP THE QUIT

I feel like if I just started chewing again, life would go back to normal. I didnt cave as I never want to feel this hell again. I just had the hardest day so far, I heard depression is part of this quitting process, but man I cried all day today and for no reason either my life is not that bad, ya I have had ral bad anxiety as of late and i started seeing a hypnotherapist for that. But this depression just hit me like a ton of bricks today.

I went through some depression. Like we always say go see a doc if you think you need to. Quitting this shit is harder than anyone can imagine.
Read up on our little drug of choice. I have some articles on my intro page that may help you understand why you feel like you do. For me the physical part of quitting was much easier than the mental part.
We will help with what we can, but if you feel like you need to see a doc by all means do so.

Nicotine , or the lack thereof, is absolutely a big part of what you are experiencing right now. Add that to your other situation and its not surprising you are sobbing the fetal postition. This is quite normal. You are in a well documented period of funk. As greg suggests, take time to read the articles here. Take a step farther and pick out some old quit groups and read them back to front. You will see that the ups and down are similar from group to group.
Never be afraid to shout out if you need help. There are many people that have been in your shoes.
Nice quittin bro!

Nice quittin bro!
Mr. Beeds: Most, if not all of us experienced some level of depression in the first couple months of our quits. If you think about it, it would be amazing if we didn't feel depressed.
Over the years, our emotions became managed by nicotine...plain and simple. When you deleted the managing chemical from the equation, everything was bound to go haywire.
I can guarantee you, though, that if you keep going with your quit, two things will happen:
1. it will get better. It does for ALL of us who maintain the quit.
2. You'll never, ever have to go through this shit again.
For many of us, it took about a year for our noggins to be running at full capacity again. Until that happens, by all means, go see a doctor if you feel you need to. That doesn't make you a pussy.
The truth: you were a pussy when you allowed youself to be controlled by your addiction. Now that you've kicked it to the curb, you're a man. The only thing that could change that would be if you caved, and we all know that can't happen as long as you keep posting.

thanks brothers it is nice to no that I am not alone in this. Everyone around me thinks there is someting wrong as this can not be just nicotine withdrawals. I am just wondering if when any of you had you deal with the depression was it an all day thing or did it come and go kinda like a craving, buy that I mean it last for maybee 10 to 15 minutes then you feel a little better not great but better. I am on day two of this hell and i swear if it last any longer i am going to have to go check myself into a mental hospital to get through this. I cant even function anymore I just had to cancel a date with the hotest chick I know because i dont know how I am going to feel and if I am going to break down when I am with her. Ya this sucks.

hang in there - it hits different for different people. I'm on day 95 and I've had times where it would hit for a few hours, and I've had times where it hit for a week. The best thing for me was exercise and praying. I recommend both and if your dating a hot chick, I'm thinking there might be something else you can do to burn a little stress. Just can't remember what that is cause I've been married for over 24 years! :)
stay quit and strong - it will pass and IT DOES GET A LOT BETTER!
