I quit smoking 27 days ago i feel depressed why?!
Question: Because of the lack of endorphins. See, when you smoke there is a rash of endorphin production due to the pleasure of smoking, even though the endorphins go away fast after you finish the cigarette, that's why you want to smoke the next one right away to experience the same sensation (plus adding the effects of the nicotine addiction of course). Now you don't smoke so you don't have that instant rash of endorphin production that is why you feel depressed, and that is why it is recommended to start exercising immediately so you can start producing those long lasting endorphines that are going to make you happy again.
Also you can request Welbutrin from your doctor to help you cope with the depression for a while.
