Niquitin Patches, Hot Flushes Of Mammoth Proportions
I am on day 14 off quitting smoking using niquitin patches I have experienced hot flushes of mammouth proportion during that time The hot flushes seem to be getting worse especially in a morning Any advice please

Hi,
In my opinion, the hot flushes are due to nicotine withdrawal. Most probably you apply the niquitin patch in the morning, so that by the next morning, there is hardly any nicotine in your blood, causing withdrawal symptoms. Using a patch of a higher dose may help you. There is no need to worry. Do not resume smoking.
Best wishes.
