Would the nicotine patch make me feel high?!


Question: Would the nicotine patch make me feel high!?
I just started the nicotine patch this morning and I feel really foggy and mellow!. Almost like I smoked a bowl (not that I know what that feels like!.!.!.)

I got them free from NY state and they sent me the step one patches (21 mg) for those who smoke 10 or more cigarettes a day!. I typically smoke less than that so I'm wondering if maybe thats why I feel so out of it!.

I also take birth control pills, low dose Effexor XR, a multivitamin, and Advil for exercise-related muscle pain on a daily basis!. Is the combination of these things potentially dangerous!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
no, there is no drug interaction between nicotine and effexor XR, or advil!.

however you do get "high" from using nicotine patches, in the same kind of nicotine high one would get from smoking a cigarette for the first time!.
This usually does not occur from only using a single patch, however it has been known to happen rarelyWww@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't feel high!.
Usually you will feel very stressed because the patch is stopping you from smoking!. For your safety go to your local pharmacy and find a patch for the number of cigarrette's you smoke a day!. If you take a high patch and mix it with medicine like you discribed you could have a reaction!. For extra safety after you buy your patch talk to the pharmacist about what medication you can take with it and what you can't!. If they can not answer make an appointment with your family doctor or go to a drop in clinic before you start wearing the patch and taking in other medicine!. It's great that your stopping smoking, good on yeah !Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don;t smoke as many as that strength patch is intended for it may make you feel like you would if you smoked more then usual!. For me(although since I smoked 3 1/2 packs every day when I quit cold turkey that didn;t happen very often) that included beign light-headed and feelign woozy!. Your body is getting more nicotine, which IS a drug, than it is used to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am not sure about the combination of the Drugs, I wouldn't say so, but the patch can really make you sick and yes high!.
Cut it in half, use it in half doses until you get used to them, then increase the dosage!. I cannot do the whole one myself, it makes my head swim and red swollen blotches on the area!.
Asked my dr!. he said cut them in half!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may be just that one patch is defective or you may be sensitive to nicotine!. The patch can dump a lot of nicotine into your system at one time and that can affetc you !. The patch comes in different strenghts and you may need to cut back on the strength you're using!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, they may give you a headache though!. The delivery method is different so the rate that it is introduced to your system is different!. That can make you feel dizzy or light headed, but not highWww@Answer-Health@Com
