10 weeks pregnant w/back pains/insomnia/fatique, ?!?
I am ten weeks pregnant and my back hurts really bad all the time. Also I have the hardest time going to sleep at night, which in turn makes me extremely tired during the day. I stopped drinking and smoking about a week ago when I found out, and I don’t know if it is smoking withdrawals or alcohol withdrawals, but the doctor said it was normal for this to last a few days and since there was no “fetal demise” in the snogram that everything is ok so far. Also, when I stopped smoking I got this really bad cough which hasn’t shown any signs of improvement in five days. What do I do? I’m not taking any medication, just drinking lots and lots of hot tea.
They say quitting cold turkey is really hard on you and the baby. Definitely don’t drink anymore, but maybe cut down your smoking gradually rather than cold turkey? Make a plan to cut down bit by bit until the point where in one month you are done.
How long does the initial withdrawal for marijuana last?
i’ve smoked every day basically for the past 10 years. i’ve tried to quit on numerous occasions. my withdrawal symptoms are primarily crazy dreams at night and just restlessness. i dont have insomnia so much, its just that i toss and turn all night and awake about every hour. i’m curious if anyone else has gone through this and how long do i have to deal with it until my sleep gets back to normal?
Sleeplessness will taper off after a few days, but could linger for weeks or even months. Melatonin pills (which you can buy for cheap at target, walgreens, etc) will probably help with your sleep. If it’s available in your area, you might try going to a Marijuana Anonymous meeting. I’m sure you’re not an addict, but there will be people who can definitely relate to what you’re going through and give you pointers. They also have helpful literature! (see below)
If you’re having headaches, it could be related. Loss of appetite is what affects me most, but that’s not a huge problem for most people.
i’ve recently had insomnia?
I found out that it’s a result of smoking marijauna to much(withdrawals from marijuana can cause insomnia). I have stopped smoking so i guess my brain is expericing withdrawals. but my question is how long can I expect my insomnia to continue?
two weeks.i found that meditation helps.it has a relaxing and calming effect.
Are there any ways to quit smoking where you don;t feel the nicotine withdrawals?
I have tried cutting down tremendously! I smoke a half to a pack a day. I dont’ like how your body feels the anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, and the anxiety. Is there a way to avoid this and still quit?
I have just started wellbutrin 4 days ago. I have no problem not having a cigarette. I have a problem with the anxiety and icky body feeling when i need a butt
I think your best bet is to use the patch. It must be Nicoderm CQ. The generic brands are crap. Use the patch, and have plenty of fruit available for you. Everytime you have an urge, have a piece of fruit. It will help the cravings considerably. Further, start a new hobby (something physical) immediately on your quit date. Although, you will have some withdrawal, this is an easy way to freedom!! good luck!
Im 15 and ive just quit smoking…?
im 15 years old, im 5ft tall, ive got asthma and ive just quit smoking. I’ve been smoking for about 3 years now (on and off) and lately for about 4 days have had some bad symptons; pulpitations (which are now gone) anxiety, hard to sleep (insomnia) and occasionall difficulty to beath? are these withdrawal syptons of smoking? are these natural? please answer nicely as i a scare easily
They are probably related to the stress and anticipation of giving up smoking, rather than any real physical effect.
Just keep off the fags and you should feel better in a few days. If not, go see your doctor.
The first 3 weeks of giving up are the hardest. You’ll feel a lot better in the long run.
