Question..

[xrt]

I gave up on smoking / snus about a month ago.
But because of some personal problems (my dog) I decided to start with snus again.

But I noticed something funny, without nicotine for about 1 month I had much more energy and alertness. Now that I use snus again I feel lazy as hell.
My question: Can too much nicotine make you lazy and lethargic?

Maybe I use snus way to much?

What do you guys think?

It depends how much nicotine/snus you use. I found that snuff in particular was making me tired and sweaty as hell.

Snus does make you tired, the nicotine makes you more tired that's normal..... that's the reason I want to stick to 2 - 3 portions a day maximum instead of six. I've heard that a 16/mg portion delivers more than 2mg/of nicotine that more than 2 cigarettes (like 2 cigarettes and a half of nicotine) I you use 10 of those portions it's like smoking 25 strong cigarettes, nicotine wise......................................... now there's another problem with nicotine........ it's per kg.... it will have stronger effects on you if you have 60 kg compared to a 100 kg's guy.......

Nicotine can definitely kick your ass. I notice it most in the mornings with Gellivare products. I think they're a bit stronger than average. Don't use starks, and maybe switch to minis, or smaller prises of lös.

Sometimes when I have a portion in at work I break out in a sweat and get flu like symptoms for about 10 minutes.

Thanks guys.
Maybe I should just use 1-3 portions per day. Maybe minis or atleast nothing above 8mg/g.
I hate being tired all the time, and lethargic...

lmao me too

from a lot of loose ........ I get flu symptoms... does your face turn hot?

[jdman321]

Yeah. It literally feels like I'm about to die within those 10 minutes. I'll be in the middle of slicing avocados then it suddenly hits and my boss just stares at me lmao. My mouth dries up, stomach pains, I worry with every turn of the head that I'll puke all over the customers food, then the storm is over.

That's my cue to spit the portion out until it passes, then I pop another one in after that stressful event lmao. Doesn't happen often, since the 2-3 I've been snussing on a daily basis I can only remember two times that it has happened. I think part of the mix was a really stressful time of the day too.

yeah, cut back. Unless you can nap and enjoy the technicolor dreams

They noticed in a study that smokers take short, quick puffs when they want to be stimulated and long drags when they want to relax. Indicates less is stimulating, more is sedating. I guess snusing can be done this way but it's trickier.

Answer

Without nicotine I am an amped up cartoon version of myself. I don't think before I say or do something and I usually get in trouble.

If I need a boost of energy I lay off the snus a bit and then either take tiny pinches of nasal snuff or make a small prilla of los (usually I make them small anyway....)

If I need to relax and calm down I throw in a stark or a normal size prilla of los and hit up the nasal snuff a little more than usual.

Experiment with your snus intake and you will find your balance points either way.

Or if it bothers you too much stop using snus....

Or start drinking more caffeine.

I think everyone summed it up very well.. I wonder though how a dog would have you snusing again. Please don't tell me it talks to you like the son of Sam.
