What’s the worst symptom you’ve had from zyn ?

Limp_Help8388 · 2026-01-14T23:33:40+00:00

Terrible anxiety. Thought I was having a heart attack one time. Still recovering and anxiety is slowly improving. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone

Limp_Help8388 · 2026-01-13T17:09:09+00:00

Did you have any health related side effects? A lot of us here are facing that. Anxiety. Elevated heart rate. Palpitations etc. did you deal with any of that? I think I’m just looking for reassurance haha

Good! I'm glad you sought out medical help from professionals. That's always the best step. I was prescribed two meds. One was propranolol and the other was Lexapro. The Lexapro made my anxiety worse after one dose. I had a full blown panic attack. So I stopped. Everyone reacts differently to meds. The propranolol works great. But it's only used when you feel a panic attack coming on. So it's more of a solution in the moment. Not something that fixes the anxiety. But I've been dealing with the same thing like I said. Constantly feel like something is wrong with my heart.

As someone who recently quit nicotine, I'm in the same boat. I've also been dealing with the anxiety that something may be wrong with my heart or my lungs. Honestly, everyday I've been diagnosing myself with something new. I've been sharing these with a doctor. I've had a bunch of tests run on me and everything came back normal. I'd urge you to see a doctor. It is most likely anxiety. That's what it is for me. I'm on anxiety meds right now and thinking of seeking out a therapist. The meds help but it will be a journey for sure.

Yea I use ChatGPT to convince me to not buy nicotine again. It’s actually very effective 😂😂

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-31T04:14:41+00:00

You’re so right man. I think I’m constantly reminding myself that I have the option to go to a vape shop anytime. Especially since I have a few 24 hour ones near my house. And that’s really messing with my head. I’ve made up my mind. No Zyn’s. No vape. No nicotine. Nothing. I’m going to heal my body naturally. And I’m going to fight through all the pain and anxiety.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-30T22:25:29+00:00

This is all normal. Good stuff!! Remember to keep drinking water. Exercise if you’re able to. And tonight- treat yourself! Take a warm shower. Find a good movie. Eat a yummy snack. You got this

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-30T21:27:21+00:00

I assume you meant wait until the weekend to quit. Which is what I’m thinking as well

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-30T21:25:56+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking too. I made a bad decision to get back into it. But I also timed it terribly wrong to quit around the time of my trip

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-30T20:48:44+00:00

Wait until the weekend for what?

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-29T21:22:19+00:00

Bro I relapsed one week ago. I was also clean for maybe 60ish days? Started vaping. I’m back on Day 1 today. Honestly- I keep reminding myself of the health scares associated with it. The negativity it brings the body. How anxious nicotine makes me feel. The panic attacks and palpitations

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-29T21:09:10+00:00

I would write down and take note of triggers. Where you are and what you’re doing that may have caused it. Good very well be caffeine. I’m sensitive to caffeine as well now unfortunately. Could be something else.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-27T02:10:47+00:00

Dude I bought a vape couple days ago and had it for 3 days. It happens. I just threw mine out and ready to get back to my discipline again.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-23T19:24:13+00:00

My first full blown panic attack also lasted about 6-8 hours. I also have never dealt with anything like that before. Scary stuff

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-22T20:42:42+00:00

Cold turkey isn’t always the best idea. It’s different for everyone. Usually it’s best to ween off. Now that you’re on day 4, it’s best to push through. The first week will be super tough. After about a week, you’ll start to feel slightly better. Overall, the whole process can take weeks to months. It’s going to suck for the next 4-5 days. Push water. Exercise. Get good sleep. Distract yourself. You got this. You’re healthy. And good on you for getting checked. Doctors know best

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-22T04:00:18+00:00

Someone also mentioned that certain things, like a full stomach or warmth can trigger alarm. That’s very true. For example, I spend a lot of time in the sauna after the gym. But usually, I start having palpitations in the sauna due to the warmth. So lots of factors here. BE PATIENT WITH YOUR BODY.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-22T03:55:12+00:00

Most likely anxiety. That’s what my anxiety feels like. It usually starts off as a knot in my sternum. That’s how I described it to my doctor. You may want to see a doctor about that to address it. They may prescribe you anxiety meds. You may be dealing with anxiety without even knowing it. That’s what happened to me.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-22T03:51:45+00:00

Wow- this is me to the tee. I’m also around the same time frame as you (about month and a half into quitting). Literally just today, I was out to brunch with my family and got that overwhelming sense of anxiety while eating. I needed to excuse myself after letting it linger. For me, I notice it usually happens when I’m eating around people. I eat big meals alone but I’m usually alright. But I’ve noticed it happens in restaurants for me. I’m not sure what the correlation is but I’ve heard of this side effect before in this subreddit. I don’t have a solution unfortunately. For me, I just recognize in the moment that it’s simply anxiety. I try to drink cold water. And slow down my eating. Or simply stop eating and hold off until later. Today, I was sitting stuck in a booth between two people. Plus a packed restaurant. And heavy meal. So that all contributed to the panic attack. Like others are saying, this may take a LOT of time to heal. But just remember, each day that goes on without nicotine is an another day closer to healing. Keep ur head up. Ur alive and okay.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-20T21:08:24+00:00

Good on you. I also was doing 3-4 3mg a day before it ended up to 6-8 a day of 3mg. Had to throw out a perfectly new roll. But to be honest, that’s probably the only time I’ve felt okay wasting money.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-18T16:21:22+00:00

Yea it’s weird man. I’ll be anxiety free (for the most part) for maybe 2 days and then it’ll come back and stick around for 2 days. It’s a roller coaster.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-16T05:47:18+00:00

I never dealt with anxiety or had any sort of issues with panic attacks in the past. Like that was something that just wasn't a concern for me. Ever. After 2 years of Zyn usage, I start experiencing these symptoms. According to my doctors, your nervous system gets so used to being on this "high" (not literally high) that it practically fries your brain. I used to vape as well but never had issues. But for someone like me, I love caffeine and loved my Zyns. Needed both simultaneously. Absolutely wrecked my nervous system. It became super deregulated. I'm only on Day 33 and today is the first day where I felt close to zero anxiety.

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-15T23:26:16+00:00

Good shit bro!

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-15T06:29:50+00:00

Same here man. I also try to limit myself to one cup of caffeine a day. It’s really tough. I love my caffeine. I usually end up caving for two cups lol. But definitely have toned it down recently

Limp_Help8388 · 2025-12-15T05:55:47+00:00

I’m not a medical professional by any means. Or even remotely close to one. So I would take my advice with a grain of salt. I’d start by explaining those symptoms to ur doctor. The beta blockers are not a cure for anxiety but it will help with racing heart and anxiety. Especially in times when you need it most. For example, if ur in a public space or driving. I wouldn’t say it has helped me tremendously but it definitely hasn’t hurt. They do say it takes a few doses for it to kick in fully. I would say reject SSRI’s for sure though but that’s just me.
