I've been trying to quit smoking with the help of Nicotine Polacr 2mg Gum. I've been using it for about a month now, and while it's helped with the cravings, I've experienced some side effects that I wasn't expecting. I've noticed some irritation at the site of application (blood blisters) and a few bad dreams, I think from the intense dopamine hit. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I know it's a different delivery system, but this is way worse than any nicotine patch I've used before. How do you deal with this side effect? I'm also curious if anyone has had these side effects and if they've gone away or if they're something I should talk to my doctor about. Is there a risk of gum dependency? I know that nicotine gum itself isn't physically addictive, but there's definitely a psychological aspect to it. On the plus side, I feel like it's really helped with the cravings and withdrawal symptoms. I'm just hoping these side effects don't get worse. I'm taking a little break and will restart if I need to. I'm also trying to cut back on my caffeine intake, so if anyone has tips for that as well, it'd be appreciated :).

So, I've been trying to quit smoking and I've been using Nicotine Polacr 2mg Gum. It's been helping a lot with the cravings, but I've been experiencing some strange symptoms. I've read about the possible side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences? I know some of the side effects are pretty serious, but I'm hoping to get some advice from others who have used this. Thanks!
