I am smoke free 22 days using Nicoderm Patch. Found out of day 22 that I am highly allergic to the patch and my Physician has taken me off of the patch and started me on steroids and cream. He wants to put me on Chantix but I can't start for 14 days. So.....I am on day 2 of non-smoking without any aids. I am trying to find out why I am having to wait 14 days from being on the patch to being placed on Chantix.
Welcome to EX...please read everything that Youngatheart.7.4.12 has recommended, stay close to the site and as far as the chantix and the patch, I would ask your pharmacist. I have found that they are usually more knowledgeable than doctors when it comes to medications. You CAN quit smart turkey...I did it and so have many of the people on this site. There is an invaluable blog that was written by jonescarp.aka.dale.Jan_2007 What To Expect In The First Four Months In fact, I would strongly suggest going to his page and reading his observations after being here for ten years. He can offer you a great deal of support. I hope you can stay close to the site and read and comment and become an active member. It saved my quit and it has saved many more.
Again, welcome.
