Quit smoking question concerning nicotine withdrawal and sex life?

I've quit smoking for 8 days tonight and I feel a little better as far as my energy levels go.. My question is that I get severe mood swings and it seems as I have no sex drive... I went out to eat last night with a beautiful girl that I plan on hooking up with but the past few nights watching adult videos I was unable to keep an erection... Ive been to the doctor and he gave me cialis for my problem that I've had but how severely does quitting smoking lower you libido... Id like to be able to have sex with this girl without having to take a stupid pill... does sex drive increase again ? after how long ? Will my circulation improve so I can maintain an erection ?? I'm dying over heeeere

Answer:
Man that is great that you quit...good job. Myself I have quit now for almost 12 weeks...and I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.

Do not worry. The quitting has not decreased your libido. The problem is that your body is going through withdrawl and you may experience headaches, stomach aches, sleep problems etc...my suggestion is that you just take your sex life easy for a another few days and see how you feel.

However, if you decide that you need to do something right away then I recommend talking to your doctor about a stop smoking drug. I am using Chantix and it is great.

Either way good job on the quitting and just hang in there the withdrawl will pass. Good Luck!
Well done quitting. Stick to it and your overall health will improve.
If you have mood swings it sounds like your hormones are out of whack, which could be from bad nutrition and the smoking which depletes the body of many vitamins and minerals. If you eat junk food, toss it, and start really looking after yourself: healthy food, lots of veggies and fruits, get some exercise regime going. You must get sunlight or take vitamin D supplements and vit D rich foods, and get adequate sleep. Possibly you need a few extra nutritional supplements to really give yourself a boost - so poke your nose into a health store or go and see a naturopath.

A quick pill fix from a doc is only temporarily fixing your problem. Only when you are healthy will you know just how absolutely fantastic you'll feel, how your body will respond when you want it to and how you'll feel confident and in control. Go on prove it...
BTW, smoking does constrict blood flow, but unless you have permanent damage, your body should repair itself - but there again, give it a helping hand by living naturally, the way we are meant to live - not with chemicals, drugs, sugar, refined carbohydrates, deep fried foods, and bad moods and stress.
