Hi all,

2 weeks in after 17 years of smoking and this weekend felt like I was getting the flu, very tired and headaches. which I don't ordinarily suffer from. I am on patches so still have nicotine in my system, just wondering if anyone else got crappy side effects from no longer smoking?

Hi Shell-bie,

Your body is just probably having its own melt down from nicotine withdrawals, We all cope and react in different ways.

Maybe your patched are too strong, who knows, Probably wont hurt popping in to the Dr's just to get checked out though just to be on the safe side.

I did get headaches and was also tired earlier on. Ive given up 2 weeks today ( Yeahhhh for me !). But I dont think my side effects were anything like your having....

Hopefully you are getting the flu and that will answer your questions...

Good luck xoxoxox
