What people say about Nicotine Patch and energy
“I'm about to start the process of experimenting with low dose nicotine patches for a few weeks. I want to see what the effect will be on my focus and wakefulness.”
“I'm currently using NiQuitin 7mg/24h patches, as a non-smoker, to self-treat my ADHD. The effects are so far *incredible* for me in terms of attention, task switching, and task discipline.”
“Nicotine I find usefull, since it can be had OTC in patched dosages from 3.5, 7, 14, 21, 28 gm. quite inexpensively. Typically I'll use 3.5 - 7mg per day.”
“I started with 2mg lozenges twice a day but now use a quarter 25mg patch to get about 6mg (25mg/4). I benefit from being more alert and the differences in memory etc are noticeable.”
