Hey guys.

I am trying again (3rd time lucky) on the patch course. Almost three weeks in. I am experiencing terrible fatigue. Around this time of day I seem to just crash and Could sleep anywhere. Although I’m not sleeping very well either and it’s taking me ages to fall asleep. I suppose I’m just wanting to see if others experienced this fatigue? Thanks all x

Hi Matt. I never tried the patch. I used Champix. But I do remember fatigue and needing to sleep a LOT the first few weeks after quitting. That went away and after 2 months I feel normal again. Maybe some others who’ve used the patch will comment. I wish you best of luck and know you can get through to the other side, past withdrawal, past side effects and on to a smoke free normal life.

Hey Matt28 - good to hear from you and Happy New Year!

Sorry to read you have restarted your journey but kudos to you for not giving up - make 2019 your final attempt to remain smoke free for good :)

As previously advised, learn from the previous attempts, whatever made you relapse, avoid those triggers at all costs. Re-read the pinned posts as knowledge is key to success. Fatigue, sleep disruption, insomnia is the one of the biggest nicotine withdrawals but will settle down and only short term.
