Withdrawal insomnia driving me crazy!

[Beatlejuice]

I started on 18mg juice back in October 2014. I am now down to 12 mg and will slowly continue dropping the nic level. Haven't smoked a cig since October. Smoked a pack of full strength reds every 2 days for decades. As far as sleep, you might want to try a supplement called melatonin. Works well for me and it is natural. You should be able to find it in any drug store or supermarket.

Thanks. It's actually hard to tell what strength I was smoking since they took that off packets about 8 years ago here. Had to take a guess, but figured the hollow cheek look to take a drag meant probably ultra-lights.

I could not sleep after quitting smoking after 42 years so I am on 25mg sleeping pills. Sleep like a baby now. I always was a light sleeper even when smoking. Health is a lot better and feel better now so if I have to take one a night for the rest of my life so be it. It is the only pill or medication I take. CHEERS!

Was hopeful the doctor would be of the same opinion when I went Monday, but no dice - he basically told me to tough it out, so no sleeping pills for me.

I personally kept an auto stick battery/ Kanger Esmart filled with 12mg tobacco flavor on me for cravings when i first quit and it seemed to work well. this set-up felt more like an actual cig so it calmed my cravings better than my evod and t3s.

Try some Zzzzquil by the people that make Nyquil. I've heard that helps people sleep and isn't habit forming. It may help you get through this period until your sleep returns to normal. I say that I've only heard it helps, I've never tried it myself, but I take Trazodone and Nortriptyline to help me sleep and Zzzzquil isn't going to come close to that. Stupid PTSD.
