Question for ALL those who have Used the PATCH to quit smoking... What do you feel like when you have no more?

Question

I'm on week two of the patch and 21mg. going down gradually as it says I'm feeling good. I tried Chantix for a couple of weeks but the dreams were unbearably bizarre. And I smoked the whole 2 weeks on it... although I would recommend it since it cut my pack a day habit in half in only 2 weeks which made me believe in myself enough to try to go for it and quit on my own so.... I went without anything no patch no cigarettes for two days for 2 days and I was a NUTBALL no sleeping.... irritable.... insatiable appetite... Buut then I decided to use the patches the state sent me I think every state provides them now (smokefree.gov)... and I have been MUCH better only I'm concerned about once I hit the day that I am to be patch free I don't know what I am going to feel? Am I just post-poning the real withdrawl or what or am I tapering down and making my withdrawal smoother? Any insight out there?

Answer 1

I can't use the patch. I ended up in the ER with chest pains, thinking I was having a heart attack

Answer 2

From burning one cigarette, 4000 chemical compounds are created and many of them are toxic. If you smoke, your brain and lungs never get any clear air. And they slowly get used to cigarettes and get damaged. So if you try to quit or do not smoke for a while, you will feel sick. This is why it is very hard to quit and eventually most smokers restart to smoke. Therefore, it is now clear. You should not even try to start it.
