I am @ 61/2 weeks without a cigarette, so I am wondering if I am there yet. I feel like the 1st week of quitting. Fuzzy-headed and spacey, very poor memory and can't find words or stumble over them. Cogentin made me feel like that when I was on it a few yrs. ago so I stopped taking it. The Dr. that put me on them (I think for sleep) will not be available to me and since he is not going to be my new Dr, I stopped taking cogentin. I worked as an RN in the 80's and 90's I feel safe doing this but I don't recomment this to anyone else. I go to clinics that accept medicare or sliding scale so it takes awhile to get to you (me). Sun. will be a week since I've been off the 14mg patch and if symptoms are still there, I'll call my Dr. Symptoms often fade in the afternoon and evening.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
