A member asked:
What to do if i have headaches for a week after quitting nicotine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat the symptoms: and STAY QUIT. Headaches are not unusual with tobacco cessation. You can just use whatever medication you generally use for headache (aspirin or tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin are usually fine unless you have ulcers or liver disease). You can also use nicotine replacement therapies like nicotine lozenges or a patch if they are really troublesome, and taper down on those over 6-8 weeks or so. Cessation program
