I started the Nicotine Patch on 10/19/14. I am at the 3.5mg level. I have had PD for 7yrs. I am currently on 25-100 Sinemet every 2hrs. I would like to start a dialogue with others on my progress as it relates to the Nicotine Patch. I will be following the schedule as indicated by the French Neurosurgeon on Neurotalk. Are there others that would like to share their experiences throughout the progress of using the Nicotine Patch.
So far my only symptom change during the brief time I have been on it is severe nasua. I did eat red meat (a no-no) and experienced severe shaking the following day so I shall heed the warning in the future on not eating red meat while on the patch. I promise to limit my shared experiences to the facts and not waste your time if you chose to maintain a dialogue.
