I don't know if this is helpful...and anyone interested in this, they should consult with their doctor as herbs can interact with medications...but I drank schizandra tea for the first five days- it's reputed to help with the anxiety and help remove the nicotine. The night of day 3 and 4- I used a skullcap tincture to be able to sleep through the night (historically used for barbituate and drug withdrawl) It has been an intense ride, but I am so comfortable as a non-smoker now that I can sit and have coffee with my friends, while they are smoking, and not be tempted or bothered. Could be that it was just the right time for me...
