Are These Skoal Withdrawal Symptoms?

I am taking 40mg celexa and started on the nicotine patch to stop a 40 year habit of skoal. As usual it took 2 weeks to start with the sweats, cold chills and stomach butterfly s. I have always swallowed the juice from the skoal. Could it still be withdrawal from the skoal

Seems likely. Generally the physical withdrawal starts in 2 days. There are a lot of effects of nicotine withdrawal including general sluggishness, GI changes and a lot of cravings.

There can also be psychological effects such as anxiety which can begin at any time after quitting and can stay for months with diminishing severity.
