Hey, nicotine and sleep data aren’t given. When should I stop taking nicotine before sleep?

A lot of this has to do with smoking and/or tobacco use. I’d like to see an article about nicotine absent of tobacco.

This article literally just gave you 28 reasons, you don’t have to smoke cigarettes or use tobacco to consume nicotine…

That’s kinda the whole idea of the article, but you’re old so you probably won’t change your mind in the face of overwhelming evidence so I guess I’m just wasting my time.

I gave up smoking 21 years ago, and have been plagued with weight gain and illness ever since, I started using nicotine patches around a year ago after connecting all my issues to giving up smoking and I was shocked at the difference I feel when I use them, recently tried to stop using them, I have fibromyalgia and my sleep is horrendous when my sleep is bad my pain increases and my sleep became even worse again, I couldn’t get out of bed yesterday, so I’m back on them as of yesterday today I was able to get up and go shopping with my daughter for the afternoon. Last night’s sleep was OK I would love to have that deep restorative sleep where I wake up feeling refreshed but atleast with the patches I am able to get out of bed of a morning. I don’t know why they help with pain and sleep and I don’t care I’m just greatful that I can function while I’m using them.

I smoked for a number of years. I had raging headaches frequently like twice a week. I stopped smoking in 1982. I have had very few headaches since then. I don’t smell bad, my teeth are not yellow, yesterday I rode a bicycle at maximum effort for 31 miles. I am 80 years old with MCI. I can’t think of any reason to resume ingesting nicotine in any form.

Crohn’s Improves on Nicotine, UC gets much worse. Could be suggestive of a difference in etiology, IMO.

I’ve been suffering from constant headaches for many years, sometimes lasting for a month or more. Everyone is my family suffers from headaches. Over the past few months, I’ve had a headache every single day–sometimes it’s crippling pain and sometimes it’s just a background annoyance, but it’s always present. I read somewhere that nicotine can help with headaches. I have never smoked cigarettes, and I’m 63. But I thought I would give it a try. I bought some nicotine gum at Walmart. After seeing that the 4mg pieces and the 2mg pieces were the same price, I bought a box of 4mg gum and cut the pieces in half. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve been headache free most days. I usually chew a half piece (2mg) at a time, sometimes adding a second half. I don’t do this every day, and when I do it’s only once a day. But it’s really astounding how much it’s helped. I’ve also been trying to lose weight, and I’ve noticed that my appetite has decreased and I’m able to eat smaller portions and still feel satisfied. Since I use such a small amount and don’t use it every day, I’m not very worried about getting hooked on the gum. But… even if I *did*, it would be better than the horrible headaches I’ve been suffering from. I’m really glad I discovered this, and the information you’ve presented here makes me feel better about my decision to try it.

The only thing that concerns me is the possibility of tumor growth. I like to use it for mental stimulation and fat loss and only chew 2 mg twice a day at most. You think that low of a dosage is nothing to worry about?

Hi Joe, do you have a brand of lozenges you like?

In reply to Gershon.

Hi, there are possible adverse effects of nicotine on the heart.
“Nicotine may also cause seizures and involuntary muscle twitching, as well as abnormal heart rhythms, a slow heart rate and fluctuating blood pressure.

In high concentrations, nicotine can cause heart failure, muscle paralysis and a buildup of fluid in the lungs’ air passages.”

There are a few immediate side effects (nausea, indigestion, headaches) when using nicotine gum. It may also have negative effects on heart blood flow.

Is it safe to use nicotine gum at age 20? At a dose of 4 mg nicotine a day (two gums of 2 mg)?

It’s the contrary. Recent studies indicates that nicotine administration causes prolonged depression of GABAergic firing.

What do you make of this study that shows nicotine reduces hippocampal plasticity?

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8aa8/d76c4809167e8c3ebe3738f136751ee1af2d.pdf

It seems hard to determine “how negative” that effect is. e.g. if I’m doing everything else right (exercise, pro-neurogenesis diet and supps), is nicotine a few times a week really going to have a major impact on my hippocampus? Hopefully not. But how can we tell…

In reply to Samuel. HI Samuel, I have been vaping Nicotine oil for 4 mo. now and it has helped shut the Nerve Pain light switch out surrounding your Brain. I don't have seizures but I do have 3 Head Injuries, and severe Fibro, and also migraines that used to level me. So trying CBDs nothing, no matter if it was pot or hemp. But I saw a news release about this, and so did my Doctor. So for the first time in 19yrs, I vaped Nicotine oil, got it from Walmart 6mgs at cig checkout. Strawberry Shortcake, and so is the steam from it. But it turned off my pain, I also have several herniated discs in my back and it's designegrating. But what I say is, no one is the same, and like me I just had to give it a test, after all had someone not tested it first. We wouldn't be speaking now~
