Nic gum and side affects - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Wascally Wabbit · 08-05-2009, 09:07 PM

Any one use it? Did you get heartburn? Any other side affects like burning your throat?
I'm on day 10
This is an easier quit than before since I am still saturated with nicotene! But, anything is better than smoking.

Peace to all.

Nicotine gum *killed* my stomach!
But, I used it during the worst of my cravings when I quit for my 2 years. It was ususally when I was in the car.
Don't chew it like normal gum. Chew and hold it in the side of your cheek they said. That's supposed to help.

Shalom!

I had one piece. It gave me mad hiccups.

The gum helped with nicotine cravings, but I didn't like the texture LOL A colleague of mine is addicted to it. She quit smoking a year ago. Just make sure you don't get addicted to the gum.

I used the lozenges and got hiccups from them. I continued to use them though. No problem weaning myself off of those. Hiccups...yuck!!

I used the gum and quit. I found it brilliant but have to agree, they gave me crazy hic ups, but anythings better than smoking

I feel sick whenever I smell smoke now. Yuk.
