In reply to smoking and depression link?, posted by ann72 on January 2, 2004, at 9:09:21

> Hi, I have social anxiety and long term depression. I have smoked cigarettes for 10 years. I have recently quit (a month ago) and am suddenly very depressed again. I am taking 125mg effexor xr and 2mg xanax xr daily and was doing okay. Now, since I quit smoking, I am spiraling down into major depression again? Has anyone ever heard of this?

Absolutely!!! I once quit smoking for a month and not only gained ten pounds but became so depressed that it was with great relief that I began smoking again. The depression lifted and I felt like myself again.
Also, I quit for eleven months and used the patch and then the gum. While the depression symptoms were not as severe, I still had other stuff going on. Am smoking again. Wish it weren't so lethal.
The emotional symptoms are not in your imagination: they are very real.
