I stopped smoking last night  
got up this morning put a patch on  and kept myself very busy all day
its now 24 hours since my last fag and i feel  like my eyes are popping out my head and i wanna thump everyone i see.
isthis normal? how long till it goes away ? cos if its going to be a while im going to buy a packet  before i get myself into trouble.

I actually feel quite calm when i am on my own

The hard bit, is the first few weeks I'm afraid Doog.   It's bl00dy hard work stopping smoking.
I used Zyban about 6 years back, but I believe they do prescribe that any more, they use Champix instead.

No idea as I have never smoked!

However I have seen many smokers trying to give up, and what you are talking of sounds very famaliar!

First I must say , I also use..

40 a day.  

 You are absolutely on the correct way..

The road with fags end up with ...

The first few days you will feel awful..Try chocolate..

And stay away from stress..

[Bandit127]

6 days of hell, apparently. Then the feelings come by less and less often as time goes by.

i did the same   WOW it was like being on mushrooms, the dream i was having were surreal

I found that the biggest issue i had was breaking the other habits i had that came with smoking, like having a f@g after a meal, or once i had got out of the car after a journey, it was a routine i had got into that had to be broken along with the nicotine addiction.

So its not just about giving up a drug, its about changing your lifestyle habits as well, and that can be as hard.....for a while you may feel a little 'lost'

good luck

I didn't suffer any side effects from it, although there were many that you could suffer from. You weren't allowed to take it if you had any blood pressure problems. Others at work started on Zyban when i did, and were noticing a reduced disire to smoke after a few days, I was still on 20+ a day with No wish/desire to stop. It took a dose of will power to start me off.

[Cumbria]

I know how you feel ciggie & a pint was normal Still get the odd craving still. Easier now theres no smoking in pubs. Apperently its easier to give up heroine.

[cem_devecioglu]

Nicotine molecules works on brain same as strong drugs (have similiar molecular structure) So no different when giving up..

ps: I learned those when I translated papers for a chemy master student..
