I tell ya Nicoderm CQ is the patch for me. 21 mg for 6 weeks. The dreams are something else. I can't quite remember what last nites was but it was very entertaining. I don't know why it happens either but it sure happens. I'm pretty much used to the crazy dreams now since this is my fourth time. I actually look forward to them. It reminds that I am trying to do something good for my body. Luck to all quitters!! See you in your dreams. I'll be the one with the black and white striped knee high socks and dunce cap with a stick off dynamite hanging out of my mouth. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13214904.post-1168959525486747772007-01-17T01:58:00.000+11:002007-01-17T01:58:00.000+11:00So you don't know me, but believe it or not I foun...So you don't know me, but believe it or not I found your blog after typing "nicotine patch crazy dreams" into a google search engine. I'm sitting her at 9 am on a day I intended to wake up around noon, awakened by some of the crazy dreams you mentioned. I'm on the morning of my 4th day of the patch and I've been suffering from these vivid dreams too. I just dreamt that I received my cell phone bill (through a magazine none the less) and it was informing me of a $999 charge for what they called "provocative disrespect of the state". A friend from high school came in to the gas station where I work and I asked her about it and she looked at me like I should know we weren't allowed to do that. After me bitching and moaning about how ridiculous this idea was a message showed up on our lottery machine at work telling me that I had the choice to continue what I was doing and to face the consequences or to quit talking about it. I hit cancel and then the phone rang and it was some “big brother” type voice telling me that I no longer had the choice of paying the $999 fine but rather I owed them 40 grand and it had to be paid in full by the time I graduated from college. I told him (whoever this who was) that I would be taking him to court and then announced to my very conservative town “my brothers, my sisters, my friends, I will fight you in court.” The government related dreams makes me wonder if it is not something they slip in to the patches to subliminally feed our minds while we so are feeble. I definitely woke up fearing an imaginary power which had questioned my right to speak against my state. ;- ) <BR/>The sheer detail of these dreams scares me. I wake up with a pounding heart trying to cipher out reality from the entanglements of the dream world. The previous night I dreamt about a very dark changing room in a foreign country in which I had a sleeping dog with me. I was talking to another dog on a balcony while trying not to wake my dog for fear of his jealousy if he saw the two of us talking. I am going to poke around here on the internet in search of any more related stories. I have never done acid, but thanks to the analogy I will stay far far away. Nicotine has scarred me enough :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13214904.post-1124905589142827512005-08-25T03:46:00.000+10:002005-08-25T03:46:00.000+10:00Congrats on making the decision to quit.

Congrats on making the decision to quit! I've struggled with not smoking for the last few years. I had quit when I found out I was pg in 2002 but then started again, sneaking them like a school kid, in 2004. I made the decision to be a non-smoker Nov 11/04 and although I still romanticize sitting on my deck on a nice summer's eve having a smoke, am determined NOT to go back. It's tough, but you're tougher! I wish you butterflies and kittens tonight too!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192313193232825683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13214904.post-1124405869260931622005-08-19T08:57:00.000+10:002005-08-19T08:57:00.000+10:00There is no requirement to give up smoking before ...There is no requirement to give up smoking before commencing IVF here, but of course, the clinics make sure you are aware of all the bad, bad, bad aspects of smoking & miscarriage & bad eggs etc. If you are serious about having a baby, you should be serious about quitting. IVF or not. I understand this & that's way I hate myself for struggling with the fags. The Clinic I attend actually said they would even prefer to see pregnant women on Patches as opposed to smoking. That was a shock. Anyway! I am determined to be Smoke Free!
