Yeah that's what I hear. Doc told me to just go ahead and let people around me know I'm going to a prick for about a month.

I've heard the same thing from other people.

The guy who went crazy on it in 2007 and ended up getting shot to death by his neighbor was a friend of a friend. They neglected to mention his .bac was also 0.27%.

Either way, I've heard the same about vivid dreams and behavior changes. I'm already a prick but if I do anything worse I'm just going to be locked in a room at home for the first weekend I'm on it.

I've had two friends use it to quit. It worked great, but those dreams... Get ready for some vivid and fucked up dreams

I googled it ... Will power my friends, will power is what it takes at the end of the day not a pill, but good luck nonetheless.

I quit when my mom found out she had breast cancer. Didn't sleep for a week due to really bad vertigo. Don't know why that happened. After that I was ok.

Congrats, I quit after finding out my mom had stomach cancer. I went through a period of vivid dreams as well using the patch for 6 week, that was over 5 years ago :) I still get the odd craving too.

Cool. I'll sit with the smokers on break every once in a while. I want a cigar from time to time too. I don't get one. I'm just like man I want a cigar right now.

I can understand that, but 2 years prior to my last cigarette, I had gone 4-5 months and had beaten the addiction by all accounts .... Then I had a cigar while drinking, I was smoking full time within a week or so.

Stopping smoking is one of the hardest things I have ever done, especially considering my old career had no official "breaks", unless you went for a smoke of course :(
