Princess, Generally, we recommend that you continue with the full course of treatment as recommended by your physician or pharmacist. Patches help you step down gradually as opposed to abruptly which can be related to mild-moderate withdrawal symptoms and an increase in cravings. The withdrawal symptoms you are currently experiencing are temporary and they will pass, hang in there. Kayla, If you're stepping off the patch, be sure to prepare. Get your distractions and other coping strategies together. As you can see, it is not uncommon for some quitters to experience a small adjustment period.

Hi Princess I too am or should I say was using the patch up until yesterday. I left for work and forgot to put one on. At 40 days of not smoking I had only been using the 7 mg patch for a week. I have noticed with each drop in mg a withdrawal. I'm going to try cold turkey at this point since I haven't used a patch in 2 days. This also prompted me to post today saying "not doing very well". I feel like I just quit and emotional again. It's now 9:30pm eastern time and I'm feeling a little better. I still have the patches and if it gets to the point I can't take it anymore then I will gladly put the patch back on. Your doing great and only you will know if your ready to stop. When I dropped down from 21mg to 14mg the withdrawals lasted two days. I also didn't know I would feel the withdrawals again but I did and I stepped down pretty fast in my quit. Whatever you decide, don't go too far from here in the event you need the support. I needed it today and everyone has been wonderful. Congratulations on 30 days keep going!!!!
