DJ, I'm two months in and haven't commented on this yet anywhere, so now's a good a time as any...
If by any chance you can go cold turkey, DO IT! I used the patch for six weeks, went through 'step down madness' thrice and then a final stellar bamboozling when I stopped entirely. It felt like I quit and felt withdrawal four times. Not pretty. Quite painful really. What's getting me through the Grumpies version 4 is a wonderful herbal remedy called Kalms. Try it if you're feeling bonkers and like that sort of thing, I highly recommend it!
Anyroo, get through it without an NRT if you can, do what you must, stay strong and read/post as often as you need to!
