Hello Villiers,
I am new in this forum but I read almost all threads about Nicotine patch therapy. I have read your comments and reply and I have also search on a PUBMED, There are few studies with Nicotine patch therapy and everyone used different does, Can you please let me know how are you and how is your Parkinson since you have started (2010 as per your post) Nicotine patch therapy? What does of Nicotine are you on after 4 years? Does protocols allowed to go only up to 20 mg per day of Nicotine? Few studies I read - they have increased does much faster than the one you have mentioned and reached almost up to 105 mg per day, Your comments and experience is much appreciated, Thanks in advance, Quote:

Request for a reply from any experienced user of Nicotine Patch,
What next - once you have reached 20mg? Should we continue 20 mg per day or there are few studies on a pubmed which says about going up to 100 mg per day for few months, though no long term study available, Kindly reply, I am now about to reach 20 mg per day does. Quote:

If your at 21mg now or will be soon. Wait as per his instruction for the next titration which will be 24.5mg and so on. Follow his patching instructions and diet guideline. |

Hi Badboy, thanks buddy for reply.
I live half world away from Dr Gabriel Villafene and there is a waiting period of almost 6 months and then doing follow up on a regular basis with him would have been a big challenge for me. So I started NP by my own after reading a lot about it on a pubmed (scientific studies) and there are lots of positive discussions about NP in one the french nicotine forum (Thanks to google translate so I can understand their discussions), My current confusion is, no where I can find Dr Villafen,s general guidelines for NP except some hints from communications by Villar in past. What did Dr Villafen recommends you? If possible, please share as there must be many like me who doesn,t have a direct access of Dr Villafen and looking forward to live a better life with PD. |

I have started few months back and now at 14 mg per day. And next step for me is to reach 21mg per day as that,s commercially available patch.
Can you share your experience? How long have you been applying Nicotine Patch and what are your observations? |

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. |
