I know how you feel. I quit smoking and I feel the same way. One reason is because, for as long as you smoked, you gave your body over to a drug called Nicotine. Nicotine affects how sugar is used in your body for energy, and it basically releases up energy fast. Now that you're taking your body back and letting it function naturally the way it should, it will take some time. After all we gave it away to nicotine for years and years, and we complain about days weeks and months. One trick I use to get energy up is fruit, gummy bears (yum!) or use glucose mixes. Give your body 20 minutes to access the sugar. Finally, exercise. If you're feeling tired, go exercise. Noone's asking you to run a marathon.Just a 30 minute walk. Go dance. Swim. The muscles need to be reminded that they're alive and have a reason for being there. If it all fails, have a med check for depression or cancer or something else. And stop popping a pill anytime something's wrong.No instant solutions to decades of abuse. Oh yes, nicotine gums and patches do not get you off nicotine. COLD TURKEY DOES. With gums and patches you might not smoke, but nicotines still running your body. Good luck.
