Of course it is - it-s withdrawal symptoms. You-re doing really well. Don-t give in now. You-ll feel much better soon, when the cravings die away, and be much healthier without all that tar clogging up your lungs. Good luck.Yep your brains going cold turkey doesn-t sound like the patches are doing much for ya...
Are you sure your on the right strenght for what you used to smoke?
People don-t realise it-s not just the not smoking it-s finding stuff to do with yourself aswell!!
I failed...used the patches for 3 months put on a stone got annoyed and had a smoke!!I have heard of people experiencing these symptoms if they didnt smoke very many cigarettes and then start using a patch because the patch is a much higher level of nicotine than what they got when they smoked.Yes it is normal, it should go away with time. That-s why sometimes doctors will prescribe a light anti depressant called Zyban (not to sure on the spelling).Hmm im not a smoker so not very experienced but paranoia doesn-t sound like something you-d get because of not smoking, the rest seem normal. I could be wrong.hi mate yes its normal u are withdrawingPeople who have never smoked will never understand what it-s like to withdraw from cigarettes. WHat you are experianceing is normal. Do you have friends or family you can be around for company and support?
(I have now not smoked for over a year now and I have survived!) The last two times I quit I felt like I was spaced out all the time and it freaked me out. PLease stick with it, you-re doing so so well. Soon you will start to feel normal.

Also, r u using the correct patch dosage? this is important.
I not that you say you-re feeling depressed or as you say really depressed. Maybe you should go to your docs for a chat because this could get worse which is what you don-t want/ Also you can get patches free on the NHS
good luck and keep going
