Thoughts? could quitting smoking effect my anxiety medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will help anxiety.: The use of nicotine puts you on an anxiety roller coaster. Once you have stopped that and after a period of several months your anxiety will be much more treatable by effective meds like zoloft or lexapro (escitalopram).
