>Oh yes. Since quitting smoking I've gone into
depression, therapy, need prozac and left my
husband. Aside from the physcial addition, smoking
shuts down the mechanism in the brain the produces
seratonin - the happy drug. Our body needs to start
producing it again OR get it through anti-depressant
medication. It's a medical fact. It's a horrible
addition that I've fought with for 30 years. I
will not go back even if i'm whacking out I don't
want to die of lung cancer or walk around with an
oxygen tank. Hopefully, the mental problems will pass.
Good luck.
