Welcome @Kingelocin! I, too, used NRT to quit. And as the dose tapered, it kept me in more or less a constant state of withdrawal. Misery! I got fed up and quit the patches and lozenges altogether, and went through the final phase of withdrawal without nicotine. Tough, but I felt loads better after a week or two. Whatever your approach, I promise it gets better!

Hi Kingelocin and Welcome to the Train. Sometimes in early quit, anxiety and stress can cause head aches and palpitations. I had quite bad palpitations for about 4 months when I first quit. I found relaxation helped me, lying on my bed with headphones on, listening to hypnotherapy, and ASMR, was so soothing, their voices really relax you. Also audio books, and relaxing sleep music and sounds do wonders. Remember to treat yourself too, it’s amazing how the money adds up when your not buying smokes. stay determined

Hi @Kingelocin! I would agree with what @jillar said and would also add that quit symptoms can be numerous and vary from person to person so try not to focus on those too much as you'll only worry yourself for no reason because if they're truly quit symptoms, they will eventually disappear. As Jillar mentioned, keep as busy (distracted) as possible. Exercise is a great way to distract yourself, even just going for regular walks! Your 6 weeks is a fabulous start toward a life long quit but it's relatively short in terms of your overall quit. I'm sure you're seeing some imporovement in the frequency and intensity of cravings by now and that will continue. I know when I quit, I struggled for months with a short temper. That eventually disipated and I'm now a sweet little angel . My point is that some quit symptoms can hang on for some time. My 2 cents; go with the flow and you'll get through just fine in the end. Oh and, stick around here on Quit Train. You'll never get better support

Welcome aboard @Kingelocin and congratulations on your deciding to take your freedom back Googling my symptoms was also how I found my first support board. There's no better place to be than with a group of people who have been through or are going through what you are going through. As far as your symptoms go, you can expect them to last at least few months so you still have a ways to go. And you will still need to go through the nicotine withdrawal once you get off the patches. I used distractions, playing games, reading funny threads in our Social section or educating myself on the main section. I also found supporting others took my mind off my misery. I also was addicted to soft peppermint puffs and sucked on them for the whole first year of my quit. And when things got really bad I took out my JAC (jillars air cigarette) an imaginary cigarette I pretended I was holding in my fingers and then going through the motions of "smoking" it. It worked great at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing Hang in there, because the icky feelings are only temporary!

Good morning @tocevoD I just read your thread and got caught up on your progress. Wow, good for you. You are making some good progress. Just keep it going my friend.

Well done @Mac#23...

Great attitude, Well done , here is a well earned Pat on the back

Yea @tocevoD it sounds like you're still getting a lot of nicotine between the patches and lozenges. I would worry you're getting too much nicotine using both and would encourage you to maybe try using just the lozenges since those sound like your preference. At any rate, the idea with patches and lozenges is to reduce your nicotine use over time and at four weeks I would think they would have started doing that. Just my opinion.....

HAPPY Friday... its time for all of us special window lickers to pat ourselves on the back for another smoke free week. I bet Austin Powers was probably one big ass Window Licker. Who is ready to join the man of mystery and strut accross the stage as a Certified Window Licker????
