I was having a pretty severe physical reaction (searing headaches, arrythmia among other delightful things) but the medication is supposed to blunt the withdrawal symptoms in general and I needed all the help I could get. The first five days were nearly unbearable. Making it worse, I decided not to tell anyone till I was two weeks out so I everyone around me just thought I turned into a monster.
But, thank God, I made it - that was 2 years ago and I have never felt better. I had no idea what a crutch tobacco had become till I stood up on my own for the first time since I was 13. Hopefully, I'll live long enough to see my kids graduate and get married and maybe even see a grandkid or two. I could pretty much kiss all that goodbye had I not stopped.
