MrsRobinson,
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.
Hope this helps,
Melanie

I have been stopped for 10 or 11 days now(longest I have ever gone!),
And I am only haveing one withdrawl symptom and that is the spacy thing. I was wondering if the coughs are still to come or if not everyone has it? I have to say also, Wellbutrin is a wonderfull helper when trying to stop. I belive without it I would have failed by now. I am so so proud of myself!!!! I did not think I would really do it but I know now I will.

I did have the stupid cough and I didn't think it would ever go away, but it did. I do know that some don't have it. We're all different so I guess we react in different ways. You are doing a great job.

Some get a cough, some don't. I couldn't tell if I was coughing any more or less when I quit because I had a nasty, wicked cough anyway, and it was all the time and went away a few weeks after I quit, so I can't relate. But just because some people experience a cough doesn't mean that all will. I'm glad that you aren't. Congrats on your 11 days!
Crave the Quit!
