Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 4 hours ago | Replies (166)Comment receiving replies
Started 7 mg 24 hour patch one week ago on planned 2 week trial regimen. No symptoms - good or bad - as yet. I fluctuate between 60% and 80% of my norm (probably average of 75% most days) prior to Covid hospitalization in January of 2024. Was on ventilator for 5 weeks, lost from 190 to 160, etc. I will post again when I complete my intervention.

I completed my two-week 7 mg nicotine regimen two days ago. I had no side effects other than minor constipation and some sleep disturbance – no improvement in energy or strength during the two weeks. Since the last patch, I have noticed an improvement – not during the two weeks, but over the past two days. It has been mostly in the form of my ability to keep going, exercise, and sleep a bit better. My wife has noticed the improvement – calls it encouraging. I will keep you posted with what time brings. cm/Asheville, NC
