I quit smoking 2-1/2 years ago, and certainly remember that feeling.
The feelings of dizziness and light-headedness and an inability to focus/concentrate are normal. Approximately 2/3 of people who quit experience it.
What is happening is that nicotine is a brain stimulant, and your brain is reacting to the loss of that stimulant.
You should start to see improvement within a couple of weeks, and in a month or so the sensation should be gone.

Good luck, and stay with it.

This is going to hurt but you'll make it. Several years ago I chewed over a can a day of chewing tobacco and stopped finally by using the cold turkey method. Cheap, fast, and painful but sucessful. It took about 8 weeks to get over it and another 6 months for all cravings to vanish. You can do it. Remember, you have a lot of company. You're not in it alone.

Yes, that is normal because you are now depriving your body and brain of the nicotine. My husband uses Nicorette 4mg Gum and it helps with the lightheadedness. Not too expensive WELL WORTH THE TRY!! Keep it up!! You will make it through. Or just go buy JOLT Cola...that may help your head too...hehe

well first of all, good job with quitting. the flusteredness is normal but sleeping isnt. you should be thankful that you slept for 14 hour because if you hadn't, you would have probably been clawing at your face begging yourself to have a cigarette :) good luck!
