Headaches !!! What should I do please

[Tracey3]

You see I bought my patches as usual, for the last three days got head ache, then I realised , I bought the lower strength ones, so day three on low strength, do I revert back, not quite sure what to do , will my head settle?

Sorry Tracey, cannot advice as have no experience on the patches, maybe read the side affects of the pack, try some water and some fresh air to ease the headache.....

I had headaches when i first dropped from high strength patches to middle strength ones but i was just a few weeks into my quit and my head was all over the show anyway.but my headaches soon went as got use to the new strength of nicotine.☺

Don't know about patches but when I lowered the nicotine in my ecig I had a headache for a couple of days.  Maybe it's just getting used to less nicotine that causes a bit of tension headaches, it will pass

Hi Tracey. I'm still on step one of the patches have been told by the pharmacist to stay on them for eight weeks as I was quite a heavy smoker. I will be starting step two soon. Maybe you should ask your doctor or pharmacist which patches you would be best using.
