This is day 2 and my Dr has me on the patches, last night I woke about 3 am felt a bit nauseous, restless and had a few vivid dreams . I took the patch off and after a while went back off to sleep….. well, is this normal????? no I haven't had a smoke, as soon as I got up in the morning put another patch on and have had a great day 2. I'm about to go to bed soon should I take the patch off?????

I've used patches many many times. I too got symptoms similar to what you are experiencing. I always found if I put the patch on early in the morning by bedtime it was all normal, but still got the vivid dreams (but I quite like them) But to answer your question about taking the patch off at night, I think you should do what feels best for you. If its making your night uncomfortable with the patch on, take it off. There are actually 16hr patches you can buy that are meant to be taken off at night.

Hi Jenny i was on the 21hr patch at first i took them off before going to bed , then i started noticing that first thing in the morning i was waking up wanting a smoke, so i started keeping them on over night. i agree with Donesmoking comment , do what is best for you . i kept taking them for about 3/4 weeks they do work well. Keep going well done for day 4 now ??
