Positive experiences
“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”
“nicotine patches for 10 days as part of a protocol for long covid. They worked really well and I also noticed that they made me feel very calm”
“one day I found a patch...14mg patch. Out of curiosity I applied it...within hours I just felt 'clear.'”
“I use 7mg or 14mg patches for 8-hours, about 4-days per week (3 day break for tolerance).”
“I have used the lowest dose nicotine patches for long covid brain fog, and it's been a miracle.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Substances, that trigger my reaction: Cerebrolysin, semax, selank, piracetam (but not phenylpiracitam), L-Carnitine and ALCAR, nicotine patches.”
“I used the patches for years. Expensive — absolutely. The benefits are noticeable but subtle enough that I went entire days without realizing I forgot to put it on.”
“I like my patches, and the only reason I don't use them every day all year long is because it mildly suppresses my sex drive and because I am wary of mixing nicotine (by any route of delivery) and syrian rue or b. caapi.”
“I've been using patches cut in half off and on for years ... I've had bad experiences with cutting the patches personally, especially the big ones. Makes me really nauseous.”
“most times wear a 21mg and 14mg nicotine patch (I put the 14mg patch 2hrs later)”
