Flat out wiped out

It's been almost 2 weeks, and I have quit before. And in earlier
quits, I have gone through months of depression. Is this time any
different?
I am extremely tired, and don't get to nap during the day, just barely
make it through work awake. OK, that's fatigue and part of the healing
process.
But I am bipolar, subject to depression anyways, and this fatigue has
got me concerned. Albeit I am in better meds shape to fight depression
than I ever have been before, takiing one to specifically fight the
lows.
It remains to be seen. I have lower expectations at this period of
time.
It's a bitch. I resume smoking for 2 months and anticipate the
possiblity of 5 months of depression. Again, remains to be seen.
My hobbies resonate with a dull thump of nonenthusiasm, perhaps as a
warning sign, perhaps fatigue.

Molly! Hang in there and if you can work your schedule, do get more
sleep. Your body does need it and the sleep can help with the
depression too. You write that you are on an anti-depressant
already? You might want to discuss with your doctor your concern as
getting smober does bring out depression in many of us that we have
stuffed previously with smoking. You might need to tweek your meds
for a while but do hang in there. Getting smober is worth it and one
day at a time it will get better!

Stay strong Molly!

Talk to the doc and see if the meds can be tweaked to accommodate the
changes from quitting.

You can do it!

Cheers,
Marvin

I don't smoke. I smell like bread. Life is Good.

Molly, I fell into deep depression when I quit. It still comes and goes. I
will prolly be off and on meds the rest of my life.
Good on you for recognizing it for what it is. Do what you need to do to
get thru it, it will level off, but only if you don't smoke. You are
getting your brain chemicals back to how they should be without all those
smelly chemicals. Hang in there, call yer doc about a possible med
adjustment and be patient. This too shall pass.

Hugs,
CatMissedMolly

I don't know about depression to comment on it but I do know your doctor
does! get a complete blood work up done
also I mentioned it here quite a few times this month about taking a
multi-vitamin ( take the over 50 kind for older people) plus a complex multi
B-vitamin also if you are in the northern areas take your vitamin D! we
don't get enough in the winter get these checked out to make sure they don't
comflict with your other meds
also get some exercise outside everyday while it is daylight, go for a walk
play in the sun or snow or whatever jus get out and do something. now do
know something that does help some depression is get MAD ( you can't be mad
and depressed at the same time I think) make the nicodemon your number one
target against your fury!! If you don't know where to start check out
Keven's past posts he hates the nicodemon!

Molly, thanks for posting this. I have been feeling reeeeeel tired,
totally disinterested in anything, and maybe a little blue. If I could
sleep for the next few weeks I would be happy. I imagine it is related
to losing my drug of choice and my body and brain are all freaked out.
However, I have to see my doc soon anyway and I will definitely
mention it to him. No reason to suffer if I don't have to.

You are doing great! I admire your guts.

Ohhh, I so remember those days. Stay strong Molly, and if it
gets too bad, please go see a doc.

I am napping this weekend and deferring household tasks. Getting that
sunshine is hard to do when there is a commute in your work day, so
now, me and the dog and my walkman are going to do some light park
time. Believe you me I am tired. I have heard some women at work talk
about being really wiped out, and that all you can do is sleep.
One siesta at a time!
Molly

I don't know whether this is going to help you Molly but I used to feel very
much like
you until this last quit. I'm taking a very small amount of antidepressants,
for many years now, and I feel that a nap
in the afternoon is always welcome, but while smoking I was feeling so very
tired, I can tell now that the reason for my fatigue was
not due to meds. but to the poison that I was getting regularly in great
amount each day.
I hope that you get better and wish you all the best.

Molly, I struggle with this as well, and know that when the droopies
hit I a) put on a no holds barred effort to take care of myself and b)
check in with my doctor. I can tell you a little over a year later I
have stabilized without nicotine in my system and am emotionally
stable (as stable as I get :-)) Take good care! Stephanie

You're doing it Molly! (((((Molly))))) Stay strong honey!

Instead of taking 21 puffs of smoke, Molly spoketh upon us:

This is a long shot Molly, but have you tried adjusting your diet?
More B complex vitamins, more C, more Magnesium also.
I understand your concern but it will pass. It did for everybody else
indeed. Stay tough!
