Mater,
I can't do gum because I have bad teeth. So last time i quit smoking, I tryed the lozenges and I liked those too, a little too much. I don't think I would ever be able to give those up. So this time, i am doing patches and useing sugar free hard candy for mouth stuff, although I still have to carefull and not do too much because that will also hurt my teeth and the sugar substitute in them can give you gas really bad.
Anyways, I find the patches just take the edge off the cravings. You still have to deal with them as they come. I am doing wellbutrin because I am a little concerned about when I need to step down on the patches. I want to be ready.
Everyone is different, maybe you could buy the smallest box of patches (21mg they have a box that just has 7) and try it. I started out cold turkey and changed my mind to the patches. You always have the freedom to change your mind!
Love,
Mama
