The patch is on and now my arm is itchy. Maybe I'll put it on my leg next time where there's a bit more meat. Or my arse cheek 😂

Sometimes I'd spank the patch a little during cravings, it'll increase blood flow to the area (more nic absorbed) and it gives you something to do with your hands. The itch is normal.

Is my arm meant to feel a bit funny like I've had an injection?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yah, but you might also find you don't need as strong a patch as you suspect, so if you get a bit wiggles then play around

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Got it.

I think I can taste it in my mouth and I'm not sure 😂 and I can't google that because they think I want to lick the patch 😂

deffo sounds a bit too strong. Feeling a bit squirrely? nausea is another symptom

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Nah just mellow.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, they feel fucky.

This is a bit of a trip. There will be no exercise today. I will watch movies instead.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Its the drug getting into your system.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago

All good then. 👍

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can do it! Cravings apparently subside after 15 mins.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Thanks mate. So far, so good 👍

You got this 💪 I know it was mentioned the other day but just to reiterate, leaving it on overnight can cause extra dreaming, lighter sleep. I would always take mine off before I slept but then nice cravings would come back if I didn't fall asleep fast enough 😭

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

I'll do that 👍
