Today is the start of day 5 and I am feeling much better. The 1st 3 days were horrible! Not only was I really craving, but I wasn't sleeping. Exhaustion is a huge trigger for me. I felt so bad I wasn't even able to write a blog, didn't feel safte driving, wanted to stay busy, but I couldn't focus on anything. However, now I'm through the worst of the bad.
I'm using the patch but I don't think it's helping and after I finish my current box, I think I have about 10 left, I will finish the box of 14mg and then I'm done with patches. I'm just not going to waste my money on something that just keeps me addicted and doesn't really give my any relief. My Dr. actually said they are recommending staying on 21mg for 6 mo. What a lie to make money. Not my Dr. but the pharmaceutical co. If nicotine is completely out of your system in just a few weeks then this really makes not sense.
Just want to tell all newbies, if you're having a rough time the 1st few days, just persevere and stay on this site. You can get through it
