hello Msparkyace
I've had very similar episodes in the last 5 days. I use the 4mg lozenge and I think they may be too strong for me. I started cutting them in half and they do the job that way just fine. They also make my head spin and I always feel a little dizzy with them. Marie said take deep breathes, that always works.
Your doing great, keep it up.
I'm on day 5 and hadn't had too many problems after day 2, just the normal cravings.
Today I was out shopping and suddenly my legs felt weak, I got shakey inside, sweaty and dry mouth. I wasn't thinking about smoking at all. It lasted about 20 minutes and went away gradually. It was a scary feeling and I had to hang on to the grocery cart just to steady myself.
I'm on the patch but I smoked 2 packs a day so doubt that I'm getting too much nicotine.
Anyone else had something like this happen?

Msparkyace, sounds like a little panic attack, I've seen this posted quite a few times. Deep breaths is the key, 3 or 4 in a row to get oxygen to the brain.
Congratulations on day five, hell week almost over

Not like that. I am also on the patch, and this past Sunday,which was my seven day mark. I felt my heart beat a little faster, got a little hot and light headed and lasted for about 15 minutes. I came on here and read threads did some things with my kids and it passed. I took it as a bad craving. I have the 14mg patch, so I know it's not too much nicotine, come to think of it even with the patch, maybe we had a lack of nicotine coming into our bodies and had to wait for more to be released from the patch. Just a thought.
Keep up the quit and good luck

MS,
You body will react differently to the quit. Take the time to relax yourself and check with your doctor to rule out anything medical. Smoking has a habit of masking problems and when you quit they become more noticeable.
Keep Strong,
Josie
