What people say about Nicotine Patch and memory
“Anecdotally, I've noticed the patch helps me focus much more than vaping does”
“I use Nicotine patches in conjunction with my Adderall medication. Nicotine and Amphetamines have a synergistic effect on the brain, of course I can't do it everyday because it's not good for my cardiovascular system.”
“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.”
