When you quit smoking is it normal to get depressed?
February 7th, 2012
I recently quit smoking (stopped cold turkey) and have been depressed for about a week. Is this common when people quit smoking?

yes its common, keep busy but not too stressed and you’ll get over it
very normal. one may also feel anger, annoyance, nervousness
Only if your weak minded,
now tell me are u getting depressed???
my doc put me on a low dosage of antidepressant when i quit. its pretty normal. keep going; it gets easier.
It happened to me. But that always happens when we force control on ourselves. But hang on a few more days and you will start feeling the opposite!
Yes, so you should constantly remind yourself that it is the nicotine exiting your system and nothing else. It isn’t you. The depression is the bad stuff leaving your body. Well done!
I’d be depressed if I had to quit smoking.
I think that is pretty normal.
You trained your brain to see cigarettes as a panacea (a cure-all) for any kind of situation (boredom, stress, sadness, happiness).
Now that you don’t smoke your brain thinks it is missing something. You really need to train your brain again and make it realize how much better everything is without cigarettes. There are so many benefits to quitting smoking, this shouldn’t be all that hard
yeah ..this is very much common….and u wl face same situations whenever u pull urself out of an addiction..coz u force ur system to reduce the dependence on the chemicals like caffeine or nicotine or nething similar…
