I’m always happy to see that someone was helped!
I tried the patches three times. Each time I had such severe side effects I had to stop. I read that the patches should not be cut and find that somewhat confusing. I for sure could not tolerate the 7mg patch that was the lowest I could find. When I cut in half, the first day I felt nothing, and the second day I was walloped with dizziness and finally vomiting. Seemingly, the dose was not evenly split. I’m already so weak from this thing that I can’t forge on with rough side effects.
I wonder if trying gum would be beneficial for me?
I always like to see the experiences of others.

Instead of cutting the patches people leave 1/2 the patch covered. Easy if you have the square patches since they have those peel off tabs. Requires a bit more finesse if you have the round patches. As mentioned earlier there is a Facebook page Renegade Research The Nicotine Test. It is not specific to Long COVID and is a bit intimidating but has useful information.
