Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?

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.

Interested to know if anyone has had Stellate Ganglion Block or NAD/NADH therapy.
Let us know if it helped.

My 17 year old son did a stellate ganglion block twice. He had great improvement but it only lasted for 2-3 days and then all of his long covid symptoms were back.

I lost my sense of smell from covid in December 2020.
I recently listened to a podcast about the benefits of nicotine and long covid. I started using 1/6th of a 21 mg patch (I cut it in to 6 little squares) of nicotine and within a week I have my sense of smell back to 100%!!!
I used to be a smoker 35 years ago and I have 0 nicotine craving so that is not i. Anyway a worry! Or concern!
I’m so incredibly grateful to have regained my sense of smell because I had resolved to never getting it back after almost 3 years. (It was actually dangerous because I couldn’t smell things burning or gas!)
Don’t be afraid to try it, I had 0 negative side effects!!

Well that is very disappointing.

I’m so happy for you! I lost my taste and smell in December of 2022, so it will be a year that I can’t taste or smell. I’ve not tried the Nicotine Patches yet, although I did purchase a box. I’m currently going for acupuncture and have had approximately 10 treatments. Thus far, I still don’t have my taste or smell back, but my sinuses are somewhat more clear. I was also told to smoke a cigarette, but I was a smoker and just quit in April of 2022 after having 18” of my colon resected due to severe diverticulitis and I don’t want to go back there but I may if the patch doesn’t work. I’ve also heard about the Stellate Ganglion Block working well, so there will be more to explore if the acupuncture doesn’t work. I’m taking baby steps right now, but feel like I need to leap!

My son is day 10 on nicotine patch (7mg). And it is working!!!! We have tried all sorts of stuff. Supplements, acupuncture, nutrition response testing, microcurrent, PEMF, red light., functional chiropractor. I have spent thousands of dollars. The nicotine patches are the only thing that has helped. I plan to keep him on it for 14 or 30 days. I haven't decided yet. I want so badly for this to be permanent.
