Nicotine gum - anyone had a simular situation?!
Question: Nicotine gum - anyone had a simular situation!?
Hello,
I've been on nicotine gum for maybe 8 months now!. Thats a pretty long time i know but i've found it very hard to get off! I've tried substituting it for normal gum, cutting down etc!. Anyway, i haven't been feeling all that well recently!. Very tired, lots of mild headaches and nausea and some muscle aches!. This could be a number of things i realise but it has worsened over the past couple of days and i've not really been chewing the gum!. When i have a piece now, i really want to gag!. I get a heart-burn like sensation, feel dizzy and sick!. Do you think this is my bodies way of saying enough is enough or do you think the symptoms are more likely to be nicotine withdrawel!? If its the second one - not idea when my bodies so repulsed by it all of a sudden!!? Many thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had the same problem!. You see the Nicotine gum is not a cure it's just a means of escape so to speak, you are supposed to move down to a weaker patch after a period of time (it varies with the type of product) useing less and less patches until you wean yourself off them!. Unfortunatly your system is more or less poisoned!. Symptioms are as you mentioned plus Indigestion / heartburn / gastritis etc, I am afraid you will have to stop taking the gum and try something else!. That's a fact!. There is a new product on the market it will have to be prescribed by your Doctor it's a course of tablets!. I think it's called Axian!. Your Doctor should be aware of it!.
Sorry about that!.
