... smoker for more then forty years and nothing worked. Not the inhaler, welbutrin, chantix, nothing. I had no desire to smoke once i put the patch on. On the secound week to the day I started feeling weird. Itching all over like I was outside on a summer night, no rash just buggie like bites all over. I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin and like I would have some kind of seziure. Never had a seziure but what I fell what it would feel like. I had to stop. A week later I thought I'd give it another shot, this time I tried the 14 mg of nicotrol cq. Same thing! itchy and nervous. I smoke almost a pack a day and I can not for the life of me understand what is going on... The patch was working... I miss it. My house was just begining to smell wonderful Can anyone help me, I don't understand what happened and the Nicoderm company has no comment, same for Doc. Anyone out there please tell me if they had a similar experience or can tell me why me out of millions can't tolerate the patch?
Thanks for reading this

Dermatologic side effects have included itching and local erythema at the patch site in up to half of patients treated. However, your side effects seem to be more severe.
I haven't heard anyone mention any experiences like that but please join the forum ... someone there may share your experience.

I am 6 days on the patch. The first 3 days were great then the 4th and 5th night I too began feeling itchy all over. I also had a hard time falling asleep. So I swiched up on applying the patch, I took it off before I went to bed and applied in the morning. I slept great, no itchies, however, am pretty light headed/dizzy when I get up and move around. Hopefully this will subside in a couple of days, If not, I will try going to the 14mg. Im thinking the 21mg maybe to much. No cravings for cigs. I love it.
