What people say about Nicotine Patches and focus
“Patches don't hit me with a high, but I feel more focused, energized, and positive with them as opposed to no nicotine.”
“I take the 7mg nicotine patches, cut them into 1/4ths, and put one on every-other-day. This has worked really well for me”
“one day I found a patch...14mg patch. Out of curiosity I applied it...within hours I just felt 'clear.'”
“administer it only via patches - not pouches... Nicotine is a great stimulant and better than ADHD medication in my experience”
