What Causes Lack Of Interest In Daily Activities?
i recently start using NRT to quit smoking, a few days into the program, i begun to feel terrible, having panic attacks so i stopped using them and have decided to go for hypnotherapy. Since not using the patches, i havent had any panic attacks, but i still dont feel myself. I am always tired, have no interest in anything, feel bored and lonely and generally upset. Do i just need to occupy my time better or am i depressed?

hi
I understand your cocern.
It looks like psychological withdrawal pf nicotine dependance that occur due to smoking.
Mood dysphoria and anxiety is common in withdrawal.
Anxiety or panic may be a part of it.
usually only NRT is not beneficial.
it can be treated with medicine like bupropion 150 mg once a day.
It will help in both to treat withdrawal like psychological dysphoria and reduce craving of nicotine.
So consult psychiatrist and get more help.
Still have a query then feel free to ask.
