Customer Reviews of NicoDerm CQ STEP 1 - 3 Week Kit - 21 Clear 21 mg Nicotine PatchesCustomer Review: Finally!! Smoke Free Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a smoker for to many years to count...as I was approaching the age of 60, I have been trying so hard to quit the habit. I figured the time was right for me, smoking has become more and more socially unacceptable, the price keeps going up and trying to justify a habit that has been eating up all of my money and time for so many years just seemed so hard to do.
After trying cold turkey, then nicotene gum I was still a failure. September 13, 2010, I finally decided to try the patch. My first reaction to putting one on was one of total panic, I was pushing away an old friend that had helped me through all of my life, through hard times and times of celebration, and times of just kicking back and relaxing. I wanted to run out and buy another pack just for a few more puffs and to keep a back up just in case I failed again.
But I was determined and fought off the urges and got started on Step 1. The first couple of days were hard, but I found when the triggers came (and I have so many triggers) that they would soon pass and all was well. Now that I am on my 6th day, I have noticed the triggers are happening less and less, the past 3 days I didn't even miss smoking, however waking up this Saturday morning after coming home from a long road trip, I found myself once again wanting to smoke a cigarette...(think that is the reward/and wanting to kick back and relax trigger) But a fresh patch on this morning and I still remain smoke free. So far no noticeable side affects, other than some minor itching when I first put the patch on. It does leave a red mark on my arm, but no big deal, it goes away once the patch is off and I alternate sites like they recommend in the instructions. One other side affect I have noticed is bizarre dreams. Nothing scary, in fact they are kind of cool,and all in living color. I may miss them once I am finished and may have to keep a patch around just for night time adventures :)
Anybody who has been or is addicted to cigarettes knows just how hard it is to quit. Part of the habit and perhaps the biggest part of the addiction is mental. So to be truely successful you need to be mentally ready to quit. I was at this point in my life so I know I won't be a failure this time. If you are at this point in your life, then don't be afraid to step off the edge with this first step. It does work. Just keep your eye on the mark, and don't forget to reward yourself with all of the money you are saving by not buying cigs...
A quick update... I am beginning my 9th day of being a non smoker, so far I haven't stumbled along this new path, but I will admit it has been hard, but you just need to keep focused and your eye on the prize. One day at a time. The vivid dreams have gone away, guess my body is adjusted to the lowered nicotine doseage, but the patches still itch like crazy when you first put them on, but it goes away after awhile. So far this is working for me, and I was hardcore, so give it a try, you have nothing to lose and lots to gain by quitting..
October 4th 2010 Update... I continue to be successful in my journey into the world of non smokers. Counting my patches left, I have 20 more days to go before I complete 6 weeks of Step 1, and then I get to graduate to Step 2 for 2 weeks. It seems each day gets easier, though the urge to smoke still creeps into my thoughts. I notice when I am around people that smoke now just how strong they smell, I never even noticed it when I was a smoker. Scarey to think that used to be me! The itching is pretty much gone, or not noticeable to me any more. I do still get crazy dreams, but not as much as when I first started on the patch. So far Nicoderm CQ has done the trick for me and I encourage anyone who is considering stopping smoking to give it a try.

NicoDerm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16-hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine.
