Hi Sam182

I’m on week 10 now and used patches to quit. I have used patches to try to quit many many time before but didn't manage to stick with it. I found if I used a whole patch my arm would hurt and get itchy and I would get vivid dreams ect. But when I cut the patch in half they worked great without much of the before mentioned side effects (not saying cutting them is the right thing, just the way I did it). But I have to say the main thing that kept me from not smoking this time was will power.

Hi Sam 182. I quit using patches over 2 years ago and on the 13/7/2013 I wrote a note on this site entitled "Patches helped me". It may be helpful to you to get it back up. I could never have quit without them. Good luck.

Hi Sam, I was on the patches for 3 weeks but stopped as I was allergic to the glue even after waiting 3 days before I used the same site. Had to get some cream from the Dr for the itch and mentioned the dreams to him. He assured me it is not the patches nor the tablets but withdrawals from the nicotine. I have managed well the last 3 weeks just cold turkey keep up the good work
