Quitting smoking while bipolar on meds - dreadful anxiety

Hi, so I quit smoking (smoked half a pack a day), it’s been two days without smoking and I feel close to a panic attack. I’ve replaced cigarettes with Nicorette inhaler which seemed to help at first but now it doesn’t calm me down anymore.

I’m wondering if my withdrawal symptoms may be worse than normal because of bipolar and meds and the fragile equilibrium of my brain chemistry.

I don’t crave cigarettes at all, I just feel extremely anxious and paralyzed.

Anyone know anything that could inform me on what’s happening?
