Hello I am currently on day 20 of not smoking, about a month ago i tried to quit made it to 14 days then gave in, i have been more sucessful this time. The temptation is always there since i usually tell my roomies to blow the smoke in my face, however i am never tempted to smoke then usually just when i am alone late at night as that was my favorite practical time to get high. When i was smoking i would smoke every single day rarely if ever missing a single day at all. Somehow i always had just enough to get by and was affraid of not having any at all.
Anyways so i quit smoking because I have had bronchitos twice in 6 weeks and have an extremely limited lung capacity.
My first 2 weeks probably about 17 or 18 days actually i had severe panic attacks everyday, whenever i went outside, walking to class, eating in public, walking up the stair case in the library then going through a crowded area (i was possibly winded), studying, giving presentations for college class, and pretty much whenever i met someone new. This whole experience of panic attacks is not completely new to me. I have always been somewhat of a shy reserved person somewhat nuervous to meet new people. However i had never had shortness of breath like this, sweating, shaking hands, shortness of breath, pain in my chest, sometimes i thouht people were reading my mind and were judging me no matter what i did, making me stumble or look crazy. I felt schitzofrenic to say the least.
Well eventually i began smoking my sophmore year in highschool. I did it a few times after a couple of months even bought my first pipe and my own bag. I loved it. It relieved my anxiety, it killed the pain in my damaged knee (which i will have the rest of my life), made me a bit more self confident, a bit more paranoid, but to say the least I enjoyed smoking.
So lets just say i am a severely anxious kid anyways. So I have gone to see a couple of physchiatrists for diagnosis of my adhd, (i already knew i had it but i need a full review to get extra help with school). And he helped me somewhat with my anxietry talking me through it a little but didnt help a ton, he even recomended a few good herbal supplements; st johns wort (you can drink it as a tea or a pill i think, valerian root with passion flower, and holy basil trinity blend. Anyways those worked fine when i was studying/going to class i would say mildly sucessful better then now taking anything at all. I saw another physchiatrist at my school she recomended meditation i had tried it a few times but the anxiety always sets in and i give in to the feeling of my chest hurting and focus on that. Well i try to use immagry and immagine the sound it works somewhat. I am working on it everyday and it is becoming easier.
Adderal that im prescribed to i am not sure if it helps me or hurts me but i deff. need it for school. Stimulants make you more nuervous!
So anyways after a week of trying to get a hold of my real doctor I finally told her how i was feeling and she prescibed me to zoloft for my anxiety. Mainly because of the regularity of my panic attacks. I am now on my third day of 25mg. I feel sleepier each day making me unable to accomplish much at all. I am taking my finals this week and have no evergy to do anything. I am eating a diet rich in fruit, taking vitamins (i had to quit taking the herbal supplements bc they may interact with zoloft) I just feel so damn low on energy. Oh yeah I am not depressed well not really till the adderal wears off! so should i stay on the zoloft? I think i should since i likely have a chemical inbalance after tripping on 15 hits of acid over a 3 day period (like 5 months ago), ive done mushrooms/ chocolates about 10 times, abused prescription drugs a little though i never snorted them just recreationally, drinking since i was in seventh grade, and smoked at least a gram to two grams a day for 3 years (thats just by myself). My family has a history of depression and drug abuse, I am not depressed just severly anxious!
Should i just take more adderol I am prescribed 2-20mg xr's and 1-5mg non time released everyday. I have only been taking 20mg a day. I dont drink caffine anymore though i quit getting the shakes now i think, well not as bad!
Oh yeah and i drank once with the zoloft has anyone had any bad experices with that. Sometimes i shit blood already lol. Or maybe my asshole i to chafed from shitty toiletpaper. I will get it checked out someday.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I had cut my dosage of adderal in half after having 3+ panic attacks a day. Thus only taking 1 20xr. However eliminating caffine, sugar, chocolate, and energy drinks i didnt have much to go on.
Cure: I eat 4-5 servings of fruit a day.
I take the recomended dosage of adderol 2x20xr and a 5 mg in the afternoon.
It seems to be working however my hands still seem to shake a bit.
Quitting does get easier with time
I can now drink caffine. I just limit time in public i have general anxiety disorder didnt get bad till i quit smoking |
