Still going strong at day 15, still on the patches and will stick with them as ive brought enough for a 10 week quit programme! still got a sore throat and occasionally it feels like a really sharp scratching pain, keep having to stop and clear my throat whilst talking but fingers crossed that will go soon, its doing my head in !

I've been having interesting feelings in my throat for the past few weeks...fingers crossed it's just to do with both the cold I had a few weeks back and the fact I've not smoked for a while!

Good going on the 15 days!

I don't think the patches help with other side effects. I tried patches on my first quite and gave them up after an hour! Nocotine cravings had nothing on how crap the patches made me feel :P

Keep on going!

Hey grim reaper, well done on your day 15 ...sore throat is your body healing nicely. patches do take the edge off the quit I think, , i would personally keep going on them until you feel ready to stop them. everyone is different of course! but i think they are fab :)

Well done to you all. This is day 21 for me, and I can certainly relate to the tiredness and lack of motivation - I still feel like a bit of a zombie. Still, one thing at a time, although it would be nice to see some rewards kicking in sometime soon!
