poStepping down on patch

JJI’ve been on 14mg patches for 8 weeks.  Thought it was 6.  Could go longer, but with no obligations for a couple of days thought I would start today.  Have the lozenge backup.  I’ve been so fatigued, dizzy, shakeyand weak, especially at night.  Yesterday aftertastes volunteering. and no nicotine for hours, a Havinga losenge made me feel like it was too much.  It’s taking every bit of will power to get moving.  I'm. Hoping the drop goes  smoother that I’m antidepissating.  Sure would feel,hopeful if I could I  feel,some enthusiasm.  Wish me luck!

I’m not feeling enthusiasm.  Wish I was.  Going into my 2nd day on the lower patch and having a very hard time.  This the worst I’ve ever felt as it is affecting my thinking.  But thank you for your post.

That is the nicotine withdraw  Gwenivere.  The first two weeks of quitting cold turkey I couldn't think at all...everything felt so jumbled in my brain, but it did get better.

Gwen, my apologizes.  I misread your post.  I was happy when I thought you were feeling some enthusiasm.  I hope that happens for you soon.

Does that also include dizziness and feeling shaky at times? All I want to. Do is sleep or cry.  I can sit here and stare at nothing for really long times and anxiety attacks are the norm.
