I really regret it.I picked it up during the pandemic due to boredom and got hooked to the headrush. I tried to quit because it makes me anxious and I no longer get any positive effects from it but the cravings are insane and Wellbutrin did not help with it.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and Iβm sorry that youβre suffering from it. Could it be possible to taper your nicotine dosage down gradually to help with quitting?
I'll give it a shot during my annual leave with the help of a specialist to end this habit.
You are not alone. Quitting nicotine isn't easy. But I can assure you it's doable. If you can get help with that, do it. I've read somewhere (about smoking) getting help by a specialist increases the odds by a significant margin. Making you more likely to succeed than not.
Wish you the best.
Thank you for your kind words. Nicotine addiction is sneaky and expensive π
