Withdrawal symptoms.

[ICanSeeTheSun]

This is the thread is for dealing with the symptoms.

I haven't found any yet, but perhaps the more experience members could help.

Just saw your post on the ASH thread

Bleeding gums! Visit your dentist and get a thorough check for gum disease. Smoking masks the symptoms so when you stop you can find they suddenly bleed quite badly.

i moody, but i have a terrible two and a threenager so thats probably why lol!

See I didn't realise about bleeding gums, that would have freaked me out.

Nosebleeds apparently too, it's all the capillaries fixing themselves which could explain the gums too.

Other common symptoms:

Dry mouth. Just keep water nearby & this tends to go off after a couple of weeks.

Greasy/oily skin & hair. Smoking dries out the skin & hair, and it can take a while for the body to adjust & stop trying to counter this.

Coughing up gunk. Once you stop adding to all the crap in your lungs, your body will try to get rid of it by coughing it up. This can take a while before it starts, & go on for ages.
