Dear Jackson,
I also quit smoking and found that I was getting some panic attacks in the beginning of my quit.
It was like I would go for a cigarette, and none was there, and then I would get the queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. This was bad and I went to my doctor and she put me back on Xanax (which I had taken for years ).The medicine helped a great deal. It is very mild and took the edge off until I made my adjustment. I am no longer on the medicine. I do keep some pills with me in case I need one when I am out. I would think that this is temporary..as it was with me. Have you ever had any anxiety before?
I take anti-depressants for other reasons, and this Xanax worked wonders for me during my quit.
I do not think this is major. but needs attention. It should not be ignored. It is the body's way of saying something to you.
There are many things that can trigger these attacks. The fact that coffee is a trigger shows me that your body misses the cigarette. Does that make any sense? Also, your body is wondering what happened to its "fix". There are thousands of additives in cigarettes. These chemicals could trigger feelings in yiur bogy too.
Please relax, as getting upset does not help. Please do some deep breathing exercises, like t\you learned in your stop smoking course. Lower your shoulders..when we get "up tight" we raise our shoulders and it is not good for our central nervous system. Lower and let that breath out and frelax.
That's better.
The places that trigger those feelings may be places you used to smoke in..maybe?
The only good advice I have for right now is to please relax. This will help you.to tell you that you are not alone. I am here for you.

Hi, Jackson. Welcome! People who quit smoking do go through a range of experiences, don't they? Congratulations on quitting and sticking with it through this!
Our brains are complex organs, tied to memory and emotions, not to mention all other organs. While you may have experienced mild panic attacks, the physical changes going on in your brain will continue for several months in your quit. You are wise to consult your doctor and get a leg up on this. Please keep us informed? We are most interested. Thanks for sharing this.
Dear Jackson,
Glad to see you here at group!
Regarding your heightened anxiety
due to a certain scent. I think it
is possible. Panic attacks are very
strange, to say the least. I hope your's
do not get any worse.
If I were you, I keep track of your
panic 'attacks' or even when your feel
that 'breathlessness'- (ask your doctor
about a possibility of you having an MVP,
that is a Mitral Valve Prolapse, very common
in people who suffer panic attacks)- you could even
write it down on a calendar, your computer
or just a little daily journal, to montitor
your feelings.
Do some research about panic. I have had
panic attacks for many years. I find the
information from other group members that
interplay throughout the day and night is
quite enlightening. I have enjoyed writing
my feelings about my 'panic attacks' as well
as reading about others'.
Bye for now,
Maria :)
Recently, almost 3 months ago, I gave up smoking. Up until two weeks ago I was doing great and then I started having weird rushing feelings in my stomach and a certain amount of breathlessness. I was frightened by this and couldn't understand what was happening, the company nurse has since told me I am suffering minor panic attacks and I have made an appointment with my doctor.
I would like to ask a few questions-
1. Is this related to my quit, 2. What would cause it and 3 Can sense of smell begin a panic.
Since I was told what this was I am beginning to handle it better, I think the fright was making it worse for me. The question on sense of smell, I ask this as certain smells and even places seem to trigger this, for instance the smell of coffee, or being in certain places, it just comes on without me thinking about it, is this right. I have stopped drinking coffee in case it is a trigger, should I have.
Look forward to your replies. :confuse:
