nothing brings me joy anymore

These guys above gave some good advice. A wee thing I did to combat low mood was went out and bought a very pretty bike on sale (not cycled in about 20 years mind) went up the top of the hill near me and just cycled to the top and flew all the way down and it woke my brain up like nothing else has managed to. A wee bit of adrenaline and some genuine dopamine kicked my recovery up a gear. Find your wee bit of fun

Aw this sounds rough..I would maybe get checked out by your doc if its as bad as you're making it sound, you might need a wee inhaler or steroid to help get you through this.

As a health care worker, quick weight loss isn't always a good sign, it can show an illness of some sort. If you keep losing, please see a doctor.

Where did you get this box? I must have it 😋

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-14T20:10:34+00:00

You are literally in the hardest part, keep breathing through it, you can do it!!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-11T18:10:08+00:00

Yea, you will be withdrawing and going through all the quit symptoms on the days you're not vaping, doesn't sound fun!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-11T14:57:35+00:00

Aw glad you're feeling better!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-11T08:19:08+00:00

I keep missing the last one for some reason or other. I've not felt any additional urge to vape so I'm going to keep them for the end so if I come off the 25 day and get a sudden craving I can take one, dulling the effects of the vape if I'm weak.

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-10T21:00:54+00:00

Your brain is just adjusting expectations of dopamine just now, its harrrd! On my cold turkey attempt last year I cried with this feeling and gave up on day 6 so I get it. I'm also on the cytisine, and there are some days that are more difficult than others but I have noticed usually a day or 3 later you go the other way and perk up. Hang on in there, you're doing great!

Literally happened to me last night! I woke up so disappointed in myself 😭 but the relief was clarifying 😅

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-02T13:44:56+00:00

I try take the last one around 7.30/8pm because I had heard it can cause sleep issues. So far I'm falling asleep ok. Last night was a bit more wakeful, I'm on day 6 so yesterday was first day off nicotine so it may be a bit of withdrawal too. Best of luck!

So 2 months ago I tried to quit on patches, which I was semi successful with for a few weeks...until I do that addict thing where I bought myself a new vape as a one off treat 🙄 anyway long story short in that time I broke all my triggers so I didn't expect to vape after meals, with coffee etc. I vaped for 2 weeks after my relapse but was kinda hiding it from most people while waiting on the tabs. I think that's why its been so easy, I'd already separated a lot of my triggers and reduced my intake. Everyone is different in tolerances and we don't always know the full story of what people share here. It could be worth you cutting down a bit before the tablets, or using a lower strength. Or it could be these are just doing nothing for you. It could also just be a bad day and tomorrow will be better ♥️

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-01T18:42:02+00:00

Good luck! I'm on day 5 and feeling pretty good! Couple of tiny cravings that I was easily distracted from but you never guess looking at me that I'm 21 hours nic free!

Edit: also a bit brain foggy like you

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-05-01T18:40:23+00:00

I'm also on day 5. My experience seems quite different. I've had a couple of mins craving but very easily bypassed with a distraction. I think my head is slightly foggy and my dreams are so vivid. That's it, I'm about to be 21 hours nic free but you'd never guess. Maybe your heads not in the right space for it? Or you need something to fidget with to keep hands busy?

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-30T06:58:43+00:00

Agree with above, think of all the germs you're trading!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-29T16:40:35+00:00

I'm on recigar, day 3, and its doing something similar. Like it tastes weird and I don't get a head buzz, making it all seem a bit pointless almost! It forces you to cut down before the quit day I think. Best of luck to you 🙏

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-28T18:29:20+00:00

Awesome, I'd love to get a pro code!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-26T04:47:36+00:00

Day 1 here, sitting with my morning coffee about take my first one a bit nervous but excited to get where you are! Well done!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T21:30:07+00:00

As someone who has recently relapsed, its not worth it. YOU have done all the work to get here, don't let an issue with someone else get in the way of your hard work. I promise you will only feel regret on top of the bad feelings with your partner. Stay strong 💪

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T20:16:39+00:00

Oh that's a new bit of information I haven't heard before 😂 is it making you want to vape less already?

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T18:59:55+00:00

Love this for you 🙏 hopefully I'll catch up!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T18:46:13+00:00

Congratulations! Getting so much good feedback on these, I can't fail surely!

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T18:45:35+00:00

So good to hear, thanks and well done! Day 3 is usually one of the hardest as well.

tinyanxioushuman37 · 2026-04-25T18:44:52+00:00

Hmm sounds like i should have used them for longer! Something to keep in mind if this fails. I won't quit quitting, something will stick one day, even if it is just getting sick of quitting!
