About me

Introduction	I have not had a cigarette since the morning of Tuesday, July 20th. To aid me in this seemingly impossible task, I purchased a box of Walgreen's brand transdermal nicotine replacement patches. Reading the informational brochure enclosed in the box of patches, I was presented with the typical side-effect-of-anything fodder: Headache, nausea, fatigue, rash, blah blah blah. No big deal. One warning, however, struck me as particularly unusual: "Nicotine patches can sometimes cause vivid dreams or sleep disturbances." Seems innocuous enough, I thought. That probably only applies to a few people in a hundred, I thought. Perhaps this is well-known among the medical crowd, or perhaps users of the patch, but I'd never heard of it before. Well, let me tell you, I am a believer.
