Hi everyone! I want to stop using the lozenges! I used three 2 mg yesterday. Last one at 5:30 last night. I've been getting through the cravings today without them...19 hours without! I was keeping busy this morning but now I'm dog sitting for the day and I've experienced crying bouts several hours on and off. What is helping me get through this is being here!!
Has anyone experienced coming off an NRT? I don't want any nicotine in my body anymore ~ I want it gone!!! I'm having pretty strong urges...and the first thought I have is to pop a lozenge! That's just feeding the nicotine!!! I know that I won't die from the cravings but I hate crying. How long is this going to last? I've been dealing with the psychological part of it but not the physical part because I pop a lozenge! I need your help to get through this....
Deb I am sorry that you are going through this emotional breakdown. I am not sure whether stopping the lozenge will stop the crying because we all have shed or tears whether cold turkey or aides. I would suggest that you take them as needed until you can come up with a better solution. It all takes time. You have to prepare yourself by having a plan. Are you going to go cold turkey, are you going to switch over to meds? Right Just hold on until someone that has experienced using the lozenges to give you a better idea. I would say if you haven't used one since last evening you pretty much may not need them. Again I am not sure. You could use just some regular mints or gum.
