I'm not taking any NRT's or nerve medications, so that couldn't be my problem. I'm really worried that I will do something like I did this morning again!! I am taking deep breaths, over and over and over.... It does help !! I feel strong most of the time, but then sometimes I wonder if I really can do this!!

Scary isn't it I've been in the same boat for a few days now Hope it goes away soon wondering if the welbutrin could be causing some of thes weird side effects. Do any of you counsellors know.

Josie, I'm speechless....I'm not sure I knew that..(or I was a pre schooler when I read it)..I learned something new today. Thanks!

I can see you through the fog crabby, and look at you at 4 days. You are half way through hell week. The fogginess is very very normal. Just say to yourself, this is how it is for a few days (maybe a little longer for some), and accept it as your body ridding itself of the nasty toxins. Tell people you are quitting so they understand if you have a moment where you have reverted to the intellect of a pre-schooler again. It does pass, and the intelligence and sound judgement comes back. Have you thought of bumber pads for the car though???

I was on the patch for a while only. I also experienced a period of absentmindness, kinda spacey. It passed. I wouldn't worry if it remains in the short term, could be detox. could be stress. Just take precautions for safety, like driving and cooking and anything else you need to.
