Tried everything??: If you have truly tried everything, then i don't know if i can really be of help. There are usually some things you haven't tried, but i don't know your history. You should see a physician with specific expertise in addiction medicine/psychiatry (www.Asam.Org, www.Aaap.Org). Anticonvulsant medications can help you more safely get off benzos etc. And Chantix + smoking program is best for nicotine.

Hello. I have a lump that's been in my mouth under my teeth in the soft gum part. Some days its inflated, other days, its "deflated" with a rough patch there. I'm a smoker and I smoke on average one pack per day but I've only been smoking for three years.
I smoked cigarettes for 20 years quit smoking cold turkey. Been three months and relapsed last week for two days due to low moods and anxiety. I don't have history of depression. Now even more anxious and sleep disturbance. will this end ?
