Hi, some people know this Doctor ? Somebody experienced with his therapy ??

It would appear that the latest piece of research into transdermal nicotine did not produce any significant benefits.

[Despe in reply to Hidden]

Wrong again. My husband started using it with good results.

[Hidden in reply to Despe]

I said the research not your husband!!

[Despe in reply to Hidden]

Based on the latest research, its use is therefore not recommended. Of course, any trials using INEXPENSIVE or OTC vitamins are always inconclusive. Imagine that!

[Hidden in reply to Despe]

It is for you and your husband to make decisions on the evidence available.

[PEB69 in reply to Despe]

Hi Despe, tell me more about your husbands experience with the patches, how long has he used it, did your functional Dr recommend it?

[Despe in reply to PEB69]

Hello PEB! He used it for 2 weeks with good results. However, when he started 1 1/2 Sinemet a day, per Dr. Mischley's recommendation, he stopped it as he believed he would have too many "chemicals." After the Sinemet trial period, he will stop it, go back to MP and transdermal patch. Will let you know once he is on the patch for longer than just 2 weeks.

[Despe in reply to PEB69]

Forgot to add: No, the FM doctor did not recommend it, but I did some reading and searching and it appears that many people use it with good results.

Hi Despe! I’m interested in the Nicotine patches, can you tell us what good results your husband has had, has it helped his motor function? Thank you!

[Despe in reply to ConnieD]

Hi Connie. He didn't use them too long, just 2 weeks. It seemed that his motor systems improved a little. He stopped them as he started Sinemet (just for Dr. Mischley's diagnosis confirmation) and he didn't want to have too many "chemicals" as he said. He will continue the patches after the Sinemet trial period, 2 weeks from today until the end of this period.

Expect real results in 2-3 months after you start them.

[ConnieD in reply to Despe]

Thanks Despe!!😊

[Despe in reply to ConnieD]

"symptoms" not "systems."

[Despe in reply to ConnieD]

You are very welcome!

PS. Check with your physician, hahaha.

[JANVAN in reply to Despe]

Hi Despe !

Where do you get the patches, in which country ?

And do you have to have a prescription ??

[Despe in reply to JANVAN]

Hello to you, too. We are in the US. No, one needs no prescription and I get them at a drugstore. These patches are for smokers who want to quit smoking.

Just piece of information for users.

To enter the protocol, you must be on Sinemet drugs.

You must not take thiamine (vitamin B1 ) supplement, as it would interfere with the

nicotine. Eating red meat is also a big no-no.

The patches have to taken every day & for the rest of your life.

[Despe in reply to sudoku123]

Thanks for the information sudoku. I am not talking about a trial, just our own experience and initiative based on comments from people on the patch.

[JANVAN in reply to Despe]

Hi Despe !!

How is your husband doing with the nicotine patches ??

[Despe in reply to JANVAN]

Hello there, JanVan. He had to stop it as there are some serious health issues now and he needs to be operated on.

[JANVAN in reply to Despe]

Ow, sad to read it. I hope the operation will be successful and wish your husband a good and quick recovery !!

[Despe in reply to JANVAN]

Thank you!

[JANVAN in reply to sudoku123]

Hi Sudoku !

the body weight ??

and which is the main ingredient in the patch ?

[ConnieD]

Have you tried it sudoku123? If so has it helped your symptoms?
