Hi Loops,

Yes, my last quit was cold turkey. I had vertigo something severe, insomnia and mood swings so bad my husband stayed clear of me for about 4 days. I swore that if I endured such torture, I would never smoke again because the withdrawl this past time was horrible. Yet again, knowing I couldn't be those ones who have just one smoke and be okay, I did it anyway. Of course, one led to two and after two months I was back to full time smoking. What a fool I am. Don't fall for the "just one smoke", it was all it took for me to get hooked...again.

I have done the patch twice, cold turkey twice and Zyban twice. The first time I did Zyban I lasted 8 weeks then the second time I used Zyban it affected me strangely. I was having nightmares and having panic like attacks and my MD took me off of it. I'm glad to hear Chantix isn't doing that to you. I'll let you know which route I take, clearly cold turkey isn't working for me.

Best wishes to you and stay strong. You can do this!
