Hey everyone, quick question: Has anyone tried using nicotine to help with long COVID symptoms? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience. Thanks!

I tried nicotine patches, I forget the strength but I bought them in a supermarket so I guess it was standard. I wore them for about 8 weeks and I and sorry to say they had no effect on my Long Covid at all.

They helped me a lot, but the adhesive was very bothersome to me so I switched to gum.

Hi, Yes, 4 mgs per day - and has helped brain and over all energy is coming back.
I will go up to 6 mgs and stop there. Lozenges for me - they can cause
nause if they go through stomach I hear. Cheeers to you, E

There is a Facebook group called Renegade Research that has lots of commentary on nicotine patches including protocols.
