Thinking of quitting on my birthday - Susan
Hi Susan,
and Welcome 
you said:
“I’m leaning toward using a low dose patch (7 mg) for
the first few weeks, while at the same time
“practicing” my ABCs. I have found that the 14mg
patch works beautifully with the physical withdrawal -
almost too well i.e. I don’t feel as though I’m
conquering anything.”
You’re right, the patch can be a tremendous aid in taking the edge off the
withdrawal symptoms, specifically the brain fog and some of the emotional
upheaval. The down side is that too many let the patch do all the ‘work’.
It’s good that you’re aware of that danger and I think your plan to use the
7mg patch through the first couple of weeks makes sense. You may find that
using ABCs early means you’ll step off the patch much sooner than you might
expect.
