Stop smoking panic attacks.

Hello- Stopping smoking is a very tough process. If Wellbutrin didn't work then my suggestion is to go back to your doctor for another prescription for something else. Panic attacks can be treated. Good luck.

Thank you. I plan on going back to the doctor. I am so mad and upset with myself. Another panic attack!

Good. I know the feeling. Hang in there.

I like this quote, framed on my wall, if I feel down on myself - "Be Gentle with Yourself. You're Doing the Best You Can."

It took me three attempts to quit smoking. I got rid of everything in my environment that reminded me of smoking - ashtrays, etc. Then I replaced it with a "positive addiction," running, and after running for about 30 minutes, I didn't want to blow that good exercise with a cigarette. But, perhaps as importantly as the running (walking is better - easier on the joints), I MADE A DECISION / I MADE UP MY MIND to stop smoking. It's a mental game, too. And I quit about 35 years ago. Replaced it with walking but I made up my mind, a decision, to stop and that made the difference I think. Still took three attempts.Best to you!

@stressmesseddepressed Thank you for your advise. I had made up my mind to quit. I was feeling very good about it and said to myself I will make it this time! There is nothing here to remind me I needed a smoke. The panic attacks is what happened. Everytime I make up my mind and try to quit after a couple weeks or so I get these panic attacks. I have put in a message to my doctor. I get mad and upset when this stuff happens because I feel so much better when I stop and then my body does this and tells me not this time either! Very discouraging but I will not give up!

Yes and a pharmacist I today asked about tapering off clonazepam under a Doctor's supervision said to expect anxiety when tapering but to just distract yourself with TV or something. I know, it can be really tough but it took me 3 attempts to quits ciggies but I replaced it with exercise. I would suggest not underestimating the power of your mind to get off them and stay off them, tell yourself you don't feel bad quitting, you feel good and eventually, your body believes it! Best to you.

@stressedmesseddepressed Thank you I was telling myself how well I was doing when they occured. I was doing good at distracting myself too so thought this would be the time I would quit. I have COPD so I cannot exercise very much. I do get plenty of it from this little one running around. haha Of course I do not smoke around her I always go outside. Thank you for responding.

Update. The doctor did give me Xanax for the panic attacks. I am back on the patch and praying I will finally make it. God Bless and Thank you all.

Good for you. If you can get out and walk or do any type of exercising try it! It will help with both. You can do it.
