When you stop the patch you'll experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Read up on what they are and how others deal with them by using the search feature. The best advice is to be prepared and have a plan.

For example:

/blogs/Youngatheart.7.4.12-blog/2013/02/25/100-things-to-do-instead-of-smoke 

You can do this!

I used the patch for 6 weeks and DID NOT have any major physical symptoms when I quit using the 7 mg patch.  Do what feels right for you.  Lots of successful cold turkey quitters here and also lots of success stories of those who used an aid such as the patch.  Making up your mind to quit and doing whatever is necessary to not smoke, is the most important thing. Be willing to give it some time.   Best wishes to you!
