Back to patch after 2 1/2 months nicotine free

I have become increasingly depressed over the time that I have quit smoking (about 4 months except for a few days) and become nicotine free (2 1/2 months).  I spoke with my Dr. today and said that I might get some cigarettes after my appointment.  She suggested that I go back on patch. 

I still have some 21 mg patches so I cut one in half (so 10 1/2 mg) and put it on. 

My weight gain of 13 pounds and increasing depression and lack of motivation has demanded that some action be taken. It's better than smoking! 

Has anyone ever gone back to the patch after being nicotine free for a while?

Smoked for FIFTY years most recently about 1 1/2 packs a day. Cigarettes controlled every aspect of The Who, what, when, where, how, why and if of my life literally. Have made several serious attempts to quit but none lasted at the most more than a few months. This time will be different so help me God... please!
