- why do i feel so tired and vague?!
why do i feel so tired and vague?!

i stopped smoking 8 days ago[with a little help from bronchialpnumonia]am over my illness but am experiencing overwhelming fatigue and confusion-has anyone else experienced this?

Go and see your GP, it sounds like it might be a bit of depression which is a relatively common side effect of giving up smokes, it can be helped by your doctor.

Could also just be part of the withdrawal process. NRT could help with that. But I agree with Bill - go see your GP - most of all don't give up. 8 days is great!

hopefully was part of the process-feeling heaps better today hopefully turned the corner..thanks

Hi there jaydeeucee,
Im sure what your going through is a natural part of this healing process, I also went through that earlier on, all i wanted to do was sleep, and with the confusion, still have days that do my head in. Addiction is Addiction and I guess this is all part of our bodies reacting and recoverying from all that smoking abuse over our lifetime. Anyway your doing great, Just stay focused and strong and the days will go by and it will get easier..
