has anyone tried hypnothereapy?!

I have, I have! And it's amazing, I couldn't recommend any form of therapy more.

I struggled for years with a crippling anxiety disorder and phobia that meant I was barely surviving, didn't get any sleep, was constantly on alert and panic mode, my adrenals were totally screwed from it... then I went to a hypnotherapist one day, when I'd had enough (ahem, had a panic attack and blacked out, came to on my boss's shoulder!). It was extremely relaxing, calming, I was aware and in control the whole time - you're just in a very relaxed state of consciousness, somewhere between awake and asleep, so everything is kind of dreamy and peaceful and lovely but you're still aware. When I woke up, I felt brilliant - very relaxed, happy, upbeat, cheerful, and could remember most of the session clearly (albeit with a dream-like haze).

A week later, I encountered the source of the phobia out of the blue... and barely batted an eyelid. Where once it would have had me in hysterics for at least half an hour, unable to sleep or think of anything else for a week, I hardly even noticed it this time and never have since. The best $100 I ever spent!!

So yes, go for it - nothing to lose, everything to gain. All the urban legends are nonsense too btw - you can't get stuck in a trance (you fall asleep or wake up), you can't even be hypnotised unless you believe you can and believe it will work, and you're in control the entire time. The power of the mind is amazing.

Hope that helps - good luck!!

Yes, hypnotherapy works, if you are really ready to give up.
The problem with coming off cigarettes by using patches is that the patches are addictive.

you should go to doctor immediately.
