What are some possible adverse side effects of the nicotine patch?

Answer 1

The most COMMON side effects when using a Nicotine Patch are:

Abnormal dreams; headache; mild dizziness; mild redness, itching, or burning at the application site; nervousness; sweating; trouble sleeping; vivid dreams.

Some less common but severe side effects are:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); blurred vision; fast or irregular heartbeat; nausea; severe or persistent dizziness or headache; stomach pain or vomiting; swelling or persistent (more than 4 days) redness at the application site

Of course another potential side effect could be nicotine poisoning if too many patches are used at one time. Symptoms of nicotine poisoning include:

• Vomiting and nausea, diarrhea
• Headaches
• Difficulty breathing
• Pallor
• Sweating
• Palpitations
• Lisps
• Stomach pains/cramps
• Seizures
• Weakness
• Drooling

Answer 3

I have been on step 3 nicotine patch at age 32 for months. I already had the marijuana in my system when I started it, so I didn't try to make a correlation. If you smoke cigarettes, than as long as you follow the dosage steps pertaining to the patches, you won't have any issues (as long as not on any other medicines). There might be some aches and pain at or around the appendage the patch is at. Sweating may be a side affect and maybe some change in bow movements.

Answer 4

One might get an allergic reaction to a weight loss patch itself or even skin irritation. If one is allergic to an ingredient in the pill form of the supplement, they will likely still have the same allergic reaction to the patch.
