Hi Paul, My headaches lasted a few days during withdrawal (withdrawal is usually only about 72 hrs). However, other things can cause headaches: low iron/constipation...........Eat prunes and Bannanas lack of water...................Drink Water lack of sleep...................Get Sleep, and or Take a Nap hunger..........................Eat (pamper yourself...) ***if the above remedies fail...take an aspirin or tylenol. My best suggestion is to just drink lots of water to help flush those toxins out as quickly as you can! I found in some of my previous quits that Zyban caused Headaches for me. I couldn't use it or the Wellbutrin. Nicotine Patches caused headaches as well, if the dosage is too high. Keep the Quit...You are on your way to success auntdeb :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 83 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,171 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $394.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

Paul, About a quarter of quitters report a headache during the first few weeks of quitting. You are not alone. How long will this last? These headaches may occur during the first week to two weeks after quitting. Tips to help: Take a warm bath or shower. Cut down on caffeine and colas. Try relaxation or meditation techniques.

Hi Paul I'm a little confused by your quit meter, regardless the first few days are the worst and I had really bad headaches. Try to get some sleep if you can, drink water and keep posting. I would do some deep breathing. I tried to sleep for the first few days to get over the first few days. Are you going cold turkey or another method? I still go through rough times and it helps to post when I feel like crap. Everyone here is really supportive and we're here for you!! Hang in there and don't give up on yourself!! Together we can all do this!!
