Reducing gum strength?

[nsd_user663_8868]

I've just reduced to 2 mg from 4 mg as I was starting to feel really ill (upset stomach, jittery, headaches). Not sure if it was a bug going round, but chimed with the feeling of smoking too much, so thought it best to reduce.

I feel ok now and am not craving so the lower strength seems to be working.

Just wanted to pick your brains. The info leaflet recommends much longer period at higher strength and up to 9 months at lower. Is this a scam to milk as much money from nicotine addicts for as long as the manufacturers can? Have googled and there seem to be a lot of chronic gum addicts out there with all kinds of horrid symptoms.

Anyone else successfully quit using gum?

How long did you use it before you finally stopped?
