So... After three weeks on 21mg patches, I felt ready to step down to the 14mg patches. It's been OK, but did feel like going back to day 1. On day 4 of the 14mg patches now though :)

Good one Fencer. I know what you mean about feeling like Day 1, I had that when I dropped form 4mg gum to 2mg. It wore off much more quickly though.

Now I'm on the challenge to reduce the gum usage. Hoping to quit them tomorrow or day after.

Did see an interesting tip here the other day about reducing patches. Snipping off a bit so that they are smaller each time. Really good idea I thought!

Keep going, you're doing so well!

Thanks all :)

Yeah, that is a good idea divingdale. I can't understand why there is only three steps. Surely it would be better if they had the three steps as is, with optional 17mg and 10mg patches?
