Nicotine withdrawal: Your mom may benefit from her family physician's help with nicotine withdrawal. Sounds like she is having some symptoms that aren't being affected by what she's doing. Not a good idea to be "self-prescribing" clonazapam or anything else. We think of patches for smoking cessation, but this could work for chewable tobacco addiction too.
