Give and get support around quitting
I stopped using the patch on my arm because it burned
Oh dear! I never used one, but that is not normal, is it??
@Candi2587 I can be a side effect for some. Have you been putting the patch on the same spot?

I stopped for the same reason. Then, the area stated irritated for literally weeks eventually to gradually go away. I never tried the patch since, but wonder if it had to do with the dosage strength.
Looks like you having a bad reaction to the patch @Candi2587. I would defiantly reach out to your physician if the problems persist.

Thank you everyone I was thinking maybe it was the doseage not to sure but I have not put them on anymore
@Candi2587 Candice, so how is the quit going? Is 30 days right?
Barb
I feel this info is worth noting for patch users .
