Nicotine withdrawal is a challenge for most smokers. The good news is that these are pretty limited with Tabex. However, if you still had to show withdrawal symptoms, they usually last less than two weeks. Still, it can be a difficult time for some smokers and it is good to know what to expect during withdrawal and how to relieve these symptoms.
Nicotine is the main addictive substance in tobacco and also affects many organs, including your brain. Over time, your body and brain get used to the continuous administration of nicotine. It goes without saying that when you stop smoking, your body has to get used to not getting nicotine anymore. This is how withdrawal occurs, which can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable.
Usually the withdrawal symptoms are strongest in the first week after stopping and therefore also the most dangerous to slip off. Because some people cannot deal with that feeling, they start smoking again to feel better. For this reason, it is important that you are prepared and know what to expect so that you can still remain smoke-free.
Tabex actually mainly takes care of the preparation. It already prepares your body and especially your brain, which can be helpful in learning to cope with withdrawal symptoms and controlling cravings.
The most common withdrawal symptoms are an uncontrollable urge to smoke, a feeling of depression or sadness, sleeping problems, being irritable or moody, concentration problems, a restless and nervous feeling, a slower heartbeat, a hungry feeling and therefore possibly also gaining weight. Some people who have quit smoking even feel it as a mild form of the flu that can last from a few days to a few weeks. Taking control of your withdrawal symptoms will help you feel better and be better prepared for these more difficult times.
For most smokers, withdrawal symptoms last less than the urge to smoke, which can sometimes show up without warning. Memories and experiences with people or places and things can trigger this urge. That is why it is important that you take Tabex as prescribed and that you have a plan for how to deal with this urge if it strikes unexpectedly.
The good news is that you can easily control this urge if you sense it, recognize it, and keep yourself busy. That is why it is important that you have a plan with some activities that can distract you until the urge is over.
It is also important that withdrawal does not pose any health risk but is only unpleasant and uncomfortable. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your health. Even the most extreme withdrawal symptoms disappear over time.
It is important that you pay attention if you experience a persistent sad feeling. Pay particular attention if you’ve ever had depression. In that case, it is important that you talk to someone about this and consult a doctor in good time.
