Effectiveness

How Nicoderm Cq Affects PatientsNicotine is the main ingredient in tobacco products, and it binds to certain receptors in the body. It has two effects: it stimulates certain areas of the brain and is also a rewarding substance. When nicotine is injected, over a dozen different substances, including hormones and neurotransmitters, are released. Nicotine is very addictive, and it can lead to an increased heart rate, constricted blood vessels, and higher blood pressure. Nicotine inhalers and patches are used to help people quit smoking. Nicotine is classified as a stimulant.
How Nicoderm Cq works in the bodyNicotine is a stimulant drug that interacts with special receptors in the brain and body. In the brain, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on dopaminergic neurons in the cortico-limbic pathways. This causes a chain reaction that results in the release of dopamine, which is responsible for the euphoric and addictive properties of nicotine. In the body, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla. This triggers a chain reaction that releases epinephrine, which causes an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
I was a two-pack-a-day smoker for 30 years, and nicoderm cq finally helped me quit. If I had known it would be this easy, I would have stopped sooner!

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
The patch, in conjunction with Wellbutrin, has been very effective for me. I don't really get cravings as long as there are no smokers around me, and even when there are smokers around, it's more the behavioral issues that I have to work on.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
I'm on day six of this treatment and, while I haven't had any cravings, I've developed a rash in the five different places where I put the patch. It's itchy and pretty uncomfortable. This has never happened to me before with this product; usually the patches are more like bandaids.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
I'm on day five of the patch now, and I've had very few cravings. The occasional pains I do feel are more than worth it compared to what smoking has done to my loved ones.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
I found this to be most effective on my buttocks, rather than my arms. It also stopped any deep cravings I had for cigarettes, though I still got light and quick cravings which went away quickly.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
This product has been great for helping me quit smoking. I've been using it for about two weeks now, and my cravings are virtually gone. The only side effect that I've noticed is that my fasting blood sugar levels have increased from 6.0 to 7.5 since starting to use the patch; however, this is something that I can manage with my diabetes medication. Overall, I'm very grateful to have found a way to help me kick this habit and improve my health!

CQ was a huge help when I decided to quit smoking 20 years ago. It's been easy ever since. Willpower is key, but this medication makes it much easier to overcome nicotine cravings.

Nicoderm Cq for Stop Smoking
I've been using this product for nine days now and I haven't had a cigarette. This is the longest I've gone without smoking since I started, and it's all thanks to this patch. It really does help with the cravings. The only downside is that it can make it hard to sleep, but that's a small price to pay for kicking nicotine addiction.

It's been 8 days and I haven't had a cigarette. However, I am feeling worse as time goes on. I feel nauseated and very fatigued. The product is great at helping people quit smoking but the side effects are pretty terrible.

I had some pretty bad side effects when I first started using this patch, but they have all subsided now. Cigarettes are the last thing on my mind, which is amazing considering I've only been using this product for a day.

I'm on day one and so far, no cravings! I have had some heavy headaches and weak muscles, but I would rather deal with those side effects than cancer or any other health issues smoking gives me.

I started using the patch and, after just three days, my ears started ringing constantly day and night. It's been two months since I stopped using the patch, and my ears are still ringing. The doctor says this side effect is now permanent.
