I am using the patch. They started me on 21 mg. for 4 weeks. I had bizare dreams, and a metal taste in my mouth, but the patch has really helped with the nicotine withdrawl. I'm now down to the 14 mg, and it is still helping, less strange dreams, but strange all the same, the taste is going away. My advise, follow the directions they give you. There is a reason for the length of time spent using a certain dose. Don't just think, "Oh, I don't need this anymore." I think the point is to put as much time as possible between your memory of actually smoking, breaking the habit. I quit on Mar 20th, and it's been a struggle, but I sure wouldn't want to go through the last 4 weeks again. It does get better. Keep trying! 🙂
