Nicotine patches

Nicotine patches

I've decided to quit smoking and put my first patch on last night. Two hours later I had to take it off cos I was really ill and spent most of the night throwing up.

Got up this morning and decided to try again cos I thought it might have just been a coincidence. Same thing happened again so I'm now patchless again.

Anyone had any similar experiences with them?

Can anyone recommend anything else I could try cos I don't wanna go cold turkey.

And before anyone suggests it, they're not too strong. They're for smokers of less than 10 a day.

Hypnosis

have a look at the lungs of a 40 year smoker.

only u cud manage to puke cos of something thats supposed to help ya!!

Re: Re: Nicotine patches

It's not funny. I was throwing up for ages last night

yeah av heard hypnosis can work.

as blur said tho - look at lungs of a 40yr old smoker etc...search on the net - shud be enough to put u off!!

My mate is doing a diploma in theraputic hypnosis. It does work you've got to want to quit tho!

He's bang into all this past life regression bullshit as well..........

Why not ask at one of those chinease medicine places, there is one in town.

aye - as with anything if you dont WANT to quit then it wont work....

do u WANT to quit amy?

Yes I do. I've actually managed well so far. Only since last night but I've hardly thought about smoking at all. I'm just concerned incase I can't do it on willpower alone. Higg's quit aswell so there's no temptation at home and he's hidden all the ashtrays and lighters away from me

I quit after about 8 years smoking and it was easy, it's just will power and determination.

I tried them once. Altho i stopped after feeling rather ill.
I went to the pub after work and after a few pints ended up buying smokes and forgot to take the patch off

i'm not laughing at u throwing up just the fact that the patches are supposed to help u & ur the only person i know that this wud happen too....



sorry that u thought i was laughing at u!! :angel:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Nicotine patches

I'm sure I'm not the only person it's happened too. That's why I asked if anyone has had similar problems with them. My mam suffered from really bad hallucinations when she was on them

bizarre...must run in ya family...that'd b weird tho tripping out cos of patches!! :spangled:

"only since last night"!! lmao

well done amy

no seriously tho, good luck with it. i'd love to stop smokin but i enjoy it too much! lol

Not having had a tab for over 12 hours is a huge achievement for me hun! I haven't gone that long without one for about 8 years!

amy the chain smoker who has been known to smoke 20 tabs by lighting the next 1 with the 1 she was smoking...dunno how u did it!!!

Don't exagerate Ruth. I have never chain smoked 20 tabs! Might do maybe four in a very short space of time when Im out but not much more. Otherwise I'd always run out of tabs when I'm out.

Normally I smoke about 10 - 15 a day. I'm not a chimney
