[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WHOA! The Patch is making me dizzy!

I've quit smoking sucessfully for a while with the 21mg/day Nicoderm CQ patch before. I had a relapse and since yesterday I'm back on it. I just put a new one ten minutes ago and I'm starting to feel really dizzy and sick...Cause for concern?

Nicotine overdose. DO NOT smoke while wearing the patch. I wouldn't even smoke within five or six hours of smoking.

Did you take off the old patches? There was this one guy that kept on puting on a new patch and leaving the old one on. He called his docter because he ran out of room.

I remember my first day on the patch. I kind of felt dizzy too. I was amazed at how well it worked controlling cravings. It says it's optional to sleep with so I slept with it the first night (the morning's is when I really enjoy a smoke). Wow, I had the most vividly erotic dream that night. It still ranks number one as the best and most realistic dream of my life. I read the packet the next day and sure enough it says that you can sleep with it on but that it may cause vivid dreams. Fine by me. The next night I slept with it again, probably one of the scariest fucking nightmares ever! I stopped waring it at night after that, I figured the risk wasn't worth it. YMMV

What scares me is is that this isn't the first time I'm using the patch...But I'm feeling unbelievably sick...It might be because I'm watching the debate, but I seriously don't think this is normal...

Screw the patch. It did work for me, but I went through a shitload of sunflower seeds. The second and final time I quit (1 year 9 months ago), I used the inhaler (sp?). It works great! It control the nicotine fits, and it give your hands something to do.

Not trying to alarm you, but a co-worker of mine ran into heart rhythm issues
and ended up going to the hospital till his body normalized again.

Not saying this is what is happening to you, but my friend did have a bad
reaction when he got too much nicotine in his system, and his body had to
settle back to a normal rhythm.
