This is an intresting topic. You should ask Phil what happened when he tried to rip off the patch way too soon............he said he went on vacation...but we think he got locked up someplace!
I was a patch user. My husband successfully quit with the patch and followed the program to a tee. I do remember one day he was at work and I had not left yet and he called in a panic. He had forgot to put his patch on and begged me to bring him a 'fix'. His quit was uneventful, calm and quiet.
Mine, however, has not been. Everytime I get near the 7 mg, I would fall off. But, I know in my heart it was psychological. I've weaned off the patch and am using Chantix, and I am sure it is working, but I am also sure it is still a lot psychological. Hopefully I won't have any trouble getting off Chantix since there is no nicotine.
I wore my patch at night. I was a heavy morning smoker. Besides, early on I really enjoyed the dreams as a result of a patch, wellbutrin and rum and coke combo! ;p I have some vivid dreams now with the Chantix, but nearly as graphic as those first few weeks!
