Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?

I in fact tried nicotine in gum form--4mg.--and it really didn't have any effect. I was surprised since I've never used nicotine and thought I'd be quite sensitive to it, but no...
I also tried LDN, at different dosages up to 4.5 mg., but unfortunately it started to make me feel a bit worse, if anything.
I'm considering asking my PCP to prescribe something like Adderall or Ritalin, since my problem is nearly exclusively chronic fatigue.

Thanks for responding and providing additional information. The articles I've read indicated about 50% positive to LDN. I'll find out which 50% I'm in in th next couple of months.
Discussed Adderall with my doc . He wasn't opposed, but suggested I give the LDN try first. My psychiatrist also suggested i might try modafinal or a related drug armodafinil which are used for shift workers to help them overcome fatigue and stay alertstay awake. Would be interested to hear how the Adderall or Ritalin work out.
