Do you use the Nicotine patch/gum as a component for your treatment? How has it worked?

Wow, that's a new one! I have been doing research on Tourettes for the last two years. I have never heard of nicotine for this. Please document, as I like to stay current on all treatments, information, and developments.
Thanks for the link, watson64

The only drug I've taken was a low dose of Haldol, and it totally messed with my though processes & emotions, so I got off it ASAP. I've heard good things about the nicotine patch, but don't have anything firsthand to go off of.
Edit: Added a source describing possible benefits of using a nicotine patch with TS

I have moderate TS and have heard of experiments with the nicotine patch. But I've never actually tried it.

Nicotine does not work for TS... where did this come from?? I'm a smoker and it hasn't helped me.
