Hi Pam, The first option my doctor offered me was NRT.Taking medication with
possible side effects and in my case I have had many, is not my idea of a
pleasant experience. Going through withdrawel in my experience is not a 2 day
thing. I feel that it is a personal option. Just the fact that I have finally
chosen to stop is a very big step. I am not “treating” my panic/anxiety
attacks with NRT I am “weaning” myself off of a bad habit that could cause my
attacks. I have chosen NRT because of my physical problems. But, no matter, I
think it is a personal choice. Whatever works do it. I am very comfortable
with NRT. hugs, ari

Hi, Well I am happy to hear that you are doing so well. I have to say tho’ I
have tried many times cold turkey and I did not do well at all. So, next
alternative is a little help during withdrawel. That is why I chose 2 mg.
Nicotine gum. I do not plan on “popping” a piece everytime I need a cig.
Between withdrawel and my Fibromyalgia I would be bouncing off the walls. Too
much pain to handle. But, I do plan on using it at night when my anxiety is
pusing me to the brink. I went through 10 years of anxiety attacks and panic
attacks, not something I would like to face again. It’s either that or meds
and I don’t think I would like to try them…Thx for the input, Ari
WOW….I can’t help but replying to those of you who are attempting nicotine
