Withdrawal symptom?


18 years ago 0 61 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi, I noticed that since I stopped smoking once in a while when I am having conversation I would forget words. It is really strange feeling. It never happened to me before quit. Anybody else has this problem?

I know exactly what you're feeling!! I tell my kids, "You need to get that, that, that, thingy." and they will reply, "You mean the phone!!" The words are somewhere in the VERY back of my brain, and they cannot reach my mouth........ :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 52 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,575 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $170.04 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Hi Alexa, I can definitely relate. Your brain is quietly resetting itself to pre- nicotine wiring...this can take a while. My doc says even a year before out brains have adapted fully.....but I barely notice the language problems anymore. Every new and funky symptom I used to get was a new thrill for me because I knew I was HEALING. Still am. Keep up the great work you guys.

Alexa... I'm with Shevie on this one. Sometimes I can't believe the words that do come out. I sit back like an out of body experience saying "did I [i]REALLY[/i] say that?" You are doing great! This will pass.

Forget words, rearrange words, make entirely new words up on the fly! :p Perfectly normal, Alexa. And like everything else, it will go away. Congratulations on 47 awesome days! :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 338 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,769 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1284.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 63 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

alexa, This indistinct but annoying symptom is linked with carbon monoxide withdrawal. It gives a sense of being in "another dimension." It can include changes in distance and space perception, a floating feeling, and a total lack of concentration. Remember that carbon monoxide is a deadly poison - it is a good thing to get out of your system. How long will this last? The first few weeks after quitting. Tips to help: Plan your workload to account for your temporary lack of concentration. Avoid additional stress during the first few weeks. If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. It�s possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable. Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
