NTM - Really, if the symptoms are severe, the lady does need to be monitored by a mediacl professional for extreme cases of nicotine and caffeine withdrawl. Water and time are by far the best treatments. Water intake should not be excessive, though; and to ease the suffering, perhaps only tackle one withdrawl at a time. Cutting back on both, rather than outright cold turkey ould also be adviseable. have her keep a log of nicotine and caffeine intake (ie times when she has a cigarette and when she consumes anything containing caffeine).

Have her try to slowly reduce the amounts of each that she takes every day, but do it slowly and gradually. Depending on how bad the anxiety that she experiences from detoxing, she may have to see a doctor to get a low dose (and limited supply) of benzodiazepines to help her through the worst times.

I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help. - Cam
