i gave up a long time ago on actually getting worthwhile advice from a doctor regarding my mental health

I hear you with that one!!

This is why I took a different route with my mental health care and went into therapy. That's what made the difference for me. Actually, it's been a combination of the two that's worked best for me, different proportions at different times. Also I would say that it needs to be the RIGHT meds at the right time.  There's an awful lot of trial and error involved with finding the right one for you at a given time tho.

I do hear you about keeping up with meds just to avoid the withdrawal too. I find myself in much the same position there so can sympathise.

Yes it is a strange situation to be in

As I now know of your location (rather close to me!) I have PM'ed you, but have a look on Google for a chap called Joe, he has a Chiropractors surgery in Redruth (Clinton Road) but I think he operates in Falmouth too. He also is trained in all sorts of therapies as Mikey@Vaporized suggests, so might be worth a shot!

i had some bad experience in new zealand though with really awful juice and thought i would just stick to what i knew i liked , tobacco and methol. The ones i had that really put me off were peach cobbler and applebaccy , but i suppose there are many others to choose from that won't be awful

You've probably been pointed in this direction already, but why not pay zeldamum a visit in the not too distant?  I'm sure she'll have something you'll like!

Beat you to it BrenD! - I've just PM'ed @alopezg1 about our informal meet this week (TBC!). I'll have some homemade juices there for trial and testing no doubt!

[misst]

Aww! I'm so jelly chykensa! Come up to Edinburgh you lot!

Glad to hear your feeling a bit better now @alopezg1 I'm a great believer in sharing when you feel shite, so as far as I'm concerned post away! This thread has also reminded me to go get a massage myself so thanks for that!

[Mikey@Vaporized]

[misst]

It's not so much wanting a cigarette as having to deal with the anxiety and depression that come about from not smoking.

I've always believed that smoking isn't just a physical addiction to nicotine, for many of us it's also an emotional attachment as well . . . saying goodbye to an ' old friend ' doesn't always happen overnight or in weeks/months. Dealing with the loss of a comfort blanket which you know works for you, can be scary.

You have to be in the right place to do that as well - which is why if you relaxed a little about your kit, took pleasure in vaping and what you've achieved so far, smoking might not seem such a loss to you @alopezg1.

my twopenneth....

stick with 24mg juice, but get along to zeldamum's place and try a few different flavours - I recon you've hit ther point where your tastebuds are beginning to clear out and you need to refresh them with different flavours... we all go through stages like this at some point, often more than once, and varying your flavours is key to getting over it

this is so well said Perpetua - when I was still duel fuelling - I was kind of scared - only when I found myself 3 evening without a cigarette and the urge to have one -  only then I dared to do the final plunge and officially give up the stinkies - in the first 10 days I felt 2  or 3 times for one - but I knew that I did not want one - that my subconscious was playing up - I was smoking for 34 years - so managed to give this habit a fair space in my brain - after that I only once felt for one - and am prepared that the nic demon might want to pay me a visit - but after 4 month without them I know that I am stronger and so are you @alopezg1 - give it time and persistence and you will be successful  

and yes - you don't need an ultrasonic cleaner - you can clean your tanks without one as well
