Default How do you battle depression that starts when you quit smoking? - 01-06-2009, 01:23 AM

I am on anti-depressants to help alleviate the depression, but it keeps getting worse. I finally succeeded in quitting smoking, but I feel worse now than I did for the eleven years that I smoked. I've been exercising and eating right to. I just don't know what else to do.

If the antidepressants are not working then see your doc and have him try something else. He has no clue that they are not working well unless you call and tell him.

Try adding salmon. tuna or sardines/anchovies to your salads or sandwiches, or taking fish oil capsules each day -- it lifts your mood in no time at all!!!

A cigarette usually helps.
