Quote from: Kubrick
I didn't slow down on caffeine at all when I first quit so I can't really say if it helped or not. I'm not much of a soda drinker, just 5-10 cups of coffee every day. You can pry that stuff from my cold dead hands.

I think someone told me to lay off the caffeiene when I first quit, well, I didn't listen to that advice  B)
Seems like I read that nicotine slowed the uptake of caffeine so when we used nic the caffeine was less effective. So now the caffeine is possibly more stimulating. I still use the same amount.
Interesting. I wonder if that is true. I didn't start drinking coffee until 3 years ago. I do know that now, after having a coffee, I can get very hyped up with the caffeine. More so than I ever remember.

Maybe there is something to that theory.

After I got out of the hospital for having a panic attack when I thought the sore in my mouth was cancer (luckily it wasn't) I promised to be dip free. I also decided to drop soda. I was drinking a lot of coke zero and regular coke when I thought I needed a jolt. The other night I was blind sided by a major nic crave. I did push ups, drank water, fruit juice, etc...but nothing seemed to work. Then for some reason I chugged some coke right out of my wife's 2 lifer. It seemed to help almost immediately. Can a little caffeine help with a crave?

Only on day 3 of quitting and am up with a killer headache. Wondered if nicorette gum was acceptable to use and if it works? Having a hell of a time right now.
No to any type of nicotine. Does nicorettes work ? Dunno, because the site doesn't allow it. Cold turkey baby.

Hang in there. The first 3-4 days are the worse because you in in withdrawl.

no, your addicted to nicotine. So giving yourself nicotine is like telling a alchoholic to drink light beer.

The headache is normal, it caused by your brain getting more oxygen than it is used to. Nicotine is a vaso constrictor. It reduced the flow of oxygen to your noggin. among other things.

Take some asprin, get your blood sugar up, sip on juice like pineapple or cranberry. Take a walk around the earth but DONT USE NICOTINE TO QUIT NICOTINE, you just prolong the process and make it less likely that you'll quit.
