When I quit smoking I used patch as a support. Initially I liked wild and vivid dreams, having never used pot or any other kind of non-prescribed drug before in my life, I was new to hallucinations. Vivid dreams were so real it was like having dreams in high-definition, but then so were nightmares. I started removing patch at night after having one bad dream that was so real. I actually got depressed for few hours as if it really happened to me and I haven't had nightmares in last 20 years. I am 32 by the way. So question is what's with Nicotine?

It only happens for the first 2 or 3 nights, they are mad hey?, I guess it happens because you don't usually smoke in your sleep.

RE:
Why does having a nicotine patch on gives nightmares or wild and vivid dreams when asleep?
When I quit smoking I used patch as a support. Initially I liked wild and vivid dreams, having never used pot or any other kind of non-prescribed drug before in my life, I was new to hallucinations.

I quit almost five years ago (next month) and the patch saved me. I left it on 24/7 except for ten minutes a day in the shower. I know they work because one morning I got up, after two weeks with no smoking and I craved it like no other time, and I was on the treadmill! I never smoked in my life on the treadmill, so what I'm getting at, is the darn thing fell off in my bed, that's where I found it. The dreams are wild and vivid, but that was just expanded for me because I have vivid dreams most nights. I also took the Zyban from the get go and that may help you out, take the edge off. I know lot's of people only wear them when they are awake, but I found it worked for me wearing the patch all the time. Since I like my vivid dreams, I would think of good things as I fell asleep and I never had a BAD dream, I had a lot of bizarre ones. But, it's very stressful to quit smoking and then you get a dream or two that scares you, it's tough. I would really ask your doctor for the Zyban along with the patch, but bottom line for me was, the patch did the most for me. Good luck, hang in there!

A lot of medications can give you nightmares, I had 5 different
COPD meds do that
Might be the meds in the patch
