Switching from Sterks to regular portions.

lol that is weird, it's been a large part when I eat or when I think of eating with me as well, was dropping about 4 pounds a day and had to start taking gravol to eat. If I didn't still have two feet of ice on the lake I'd be fishing at my camp right now as my getaway, but instead I've been taking my dogs out to our camp and walking them without a leash, no cars/people/phone. Easy way to sort ones thoughts, hell only thing I worry about on the walks is if one of the dogs guna try eating a deer leg.

4 pounds a day is a hell of a lot ! Is that because you didn't want to eat because of the palpitations?

A little bit offtop... I dont know whats wrong but i cant satisfy my snus cravings with white portions. I know they release slower but its the same amount od nicotine as original ! Anyone experienced this ?

Codyg - you've got to distinguish here between tachycardia (dangerous) and stress - not dangerous in the short term. Trust me, we've ALL experienced extreme stress if you've lived at all. It's normal. Tachycardia where your heartbeat is off on it's own regardless is an issue. Get it seen to. You'll know if it's not stress. I've had a couple of moments of tachycardia and funnily enough it's happened during a meditation. Difficult to explain that but it's scary when it happens. It's extremely rare with me so I haven't seen a doctor. I also get palpitations but apparently palps are harmless. If you're ever out of breath whilst sitting or get pains around your neck, throat or chest - see a doctor yesterday.

I'd say that if they're not satisfying you then you're still relatively new to snus and stopping cigarettes. If so, I'd give more time on the sterks until you naturally feel the urge to come down in nicotine.

Its my second month but i use 8mg originalsn and i meant that 8 mg white dobt satisfy... I think its strange thats why i asked. Sterks give me nice hit, like going back to smoking but it dissapears after one day pf using (tolerance)

[Frosted]

Oh sorry, you did see a doc. I'm just chilling, skimming over the forum with a few beers. Apologies.

After you eat or drink it stimulates the vagus nerve which stimulates the heart. That can cause an increased heartbeat or palpitations.

Right. Stay on the sterks for at least a year and then try coming down. It took me a few years before I was confident enough to lower the nicotine. Now I reckon I could go down to 4mg no problem.....but I wouldn't want to. 8/9mg is a very nice level.

[Frosted]

...actually, thinking about it, it took me 5 years before I came down to 8 mg. But it was nice on the sterks. It's nice on the 8 too.

[oceter]

Why should i do sterks if im used to 8 ? I dont like that i have smaller variety to choose but i love onyx (and i cant find any similar lemon 8 mg ... Maybe someone can recommend something ?

The only reason you should go for starks instead of regulars are a) if you are still struggling with cravings associated with the mega fast dose of nic that cigs give you even with 8mg snus ... and b) you REALLY dig the deeper taste that they give you.

Yes^^

[squeezyjohn]

I forgot c) you already use a shit-ton of starks and are addicted to them like crack.

Frosted i think tachycardia just means fast heart in latine, just a fancy way of saying accelrated heart rate. When i get it I get a fluttering sort electric current like feeling going through my abdomen
it's quite disturbing. I am pretty sure now it has something to do with eating , i hope it's that and anyway
