Princess,
Generally, we recommend that you continue with the full course of treatment as recommended by your physician or pharmacist.
Patches help you step down gradually as opposed to abruptly which can be related to mild-moderate withdrawal symptoms and an increase in cravings.
The withdrawal symptoms you are currently experiencing are temporary and they will pass, hang in there.
Kayla,
If you're stepping off the patch, be sure to prepare. Get your distractions and other coping strategies together. As you can see, it is not uncommon for some quitters to experience a small adjustment period.
