Headaches!!
Hi all, I am on day 3 of patches. I'm used to smoking 20-25 cigarettes a day and am down to 2 with the patches on. I have constant headaches since approx early arvo day 1. Does anyone have any advise as to how long these last and anything I can do to make them go away quicker?
Nicotine withdrawal and or the patch could be responsible for headaches. If you drank a lot of coffee, and cut back too much you will get headaches as well. Drinking water, exercising, sleep and lavender can help. Ginger Tea is also known as a natural remedy. Your headaches should ease off in a week. (another 4 days) Avoiding alcohol and dehydration are advised as well. You can do this Stef! Tough it out just a little longer and your body will adjust. Hopefully some of these ideas help.
use the patches when it suits you, Doc told me to put them on before bed, got nightmares, now I take it take it off before the shower & put one on in the morning
