When experiencing side effects from the nicotine patch, there are some basic ways to relieve them:
- Do not smoke while you are using a patch.
- Try a different brand of patch if your skin becomes irritated.
- Reduce the amount of nicotine by using a lower-dose patch.
- Sleep problems may be short-term and go away in 3 or 4 days. If not, and you're using a 24-hour patch, try switching to a 16-hour patch.
- Stop using the patch and try a different form of NRT.
