what day are you on???? if its between about 20 and 28 then don't worry its normal!!
its day 32 but day 4 or so without a patch. I've spent the whole weekend surrounded by friends who smoke. They all been very good about trying to not blow their smoke in my direction but the smell is so easy to spot even at 100 meters.
Put a patch on now and not so stressed.
Some people have said that a patch is just Placebo, maybe maybe not. I'd rather stick one on then stick a cigarette in my mouth. It works for me.
I havent had any cravings just really feeling on edge and the slightest thing getting me all worked up.
Im not going to smoke again cause when I have a good day which are more often than not, I'm on top of the world, just some days I'm low. Today I'm low but I know it'll pass quickly. Tomorrow I'll wont have a patch on.
Sorry if I'm rambling a bit here, but this also helps me posting and reading stuff on here also a Placebo but one I know that works.
Still a Mad March Quitter and proud of it

Carry on doing that, we don't mind...just as long as you dont smoke!
Hope your mood improves soon

I came off them at 3 weeks after a gradual wean. Still hit me slightly physically but almost sent me back to day 1 as far as mentally goes! In hindsight should have done it slower. Anyway. It passes! Give it a couple of days and you will find you are back to normal.
Hi Maverick

Hope you feel better soon

Hi Maverick,
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time of it today. And yeah, if a patch helps, then why not. Whatever works for you. Best news is - you're still a Mad March Quitter

Sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Don't worry about using the patches. Whatever keeps you from smoking. I had a friend who had to use the patches for six months before she felt comfortable to quit them. (I think this was a very rare case) She did quit for good in the end which is what is important!
Hi Maverick
Sorry your having a bad day but if you stopped the patches thats it. About day 4 the last of the nicotine finishes leaving the body. So you will feel like sh*t but if you felt like you were going to smoke you done the right thing putting a patch on. Next time wean yourself of you will still feel it but not as bad.xxxxx
Hi Maverick
The first time I had a grumpy moany day I was told in no uncertain terms by my nearest and dearest that I had them when I DID smoke so I couldnt blame the not smoking!! LOL
I have quit with the inhalator but came off it too soon and just before a heavy weekend away where there were far too many smokers, so I just took up the inhalator for the weekend and carry it with me now "just in case" although I havent used it for a 5-6 days now.
Keep it up and remember you had crap days when you smoked!!

Going mad
Hi Maverick, sorry your having a bad day, me to if it helps... I am on day 44 and it has caught me by surprise.... Had dreadful day at work, then went straight to gym, take my mind off it, but that didnt either, so had my tea, went for a run, got back and still felt on edge so cleaned bathroom from top to bottom..... Feel like going mad, but hopefully will pass. Am also on patches 14mg and will go doctors tommorow for lower dosage. But like u , they are working for me apart from today ha ha, so will stick with the programme....Keep up the good work, would hate to fall out of this brilliant group of MMQ,,,,, Now thats my ramble over, hope it makes u feel better kaz
