My surgeon refuses to work on anyone who vapes or smokes because of the negative healing effects. Especially for top surgery. The nightmare on my first night of not vaping, however, was absolutely insane. I used to have to take eight medications to cope with nightmares and anxiety in the past and that symptom scared me so badly.

I tried to look up ways to cope but I was already unknowingly doing them? I always listen to soft and familiar music to sleep, and while I am going to start NRT in a few hours because I work a lot (and do not want to lose my mind), I did not have any nicotine patches on to sleep. I keep reading that some people have experienced these nightmares for MONTHS. I genuinely don’t know if I can handle that and it feels so bad to complain this early in.
