Product Reviews of Nicorette Lozenges , 4 mg, 72-Count (Mint)
Product Review: Not good with Wellbutrin SR/Zyban
Summary: 4 Stars
My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin and said it was okay to use with a nicotine patch. Couldn't quit with the patch, so I decided to try with Commit.
OMG.
While it greatly reduced my urge to smoke, I had such a bad case vertigo that I couldn't get downstairs by myself or drive. I wasn't sure if it was an effect from the Wellbutrin or the lozenges, so I quit the drug first and was still dizzy. Then I had to quit the Commit.
Rather than use this as an excuse, I am going cold turkey.
Six days and counting.
I think if I am close to lighting up, I'll risk a little dizziness with a few rolls around my mouth of a Commit, as long as I don't have to drive.
SEE DAY 13 UPDATE BELOW
Day 13.
The wellbutrin is out of my system and I gotta say...these lozenges ROCK!
I can see how someone could become addicted to them. I am using them every 2-3 hours, only about 5 a day.
As soon as I am done with this box (after following the step-down directions) I will switch to a 2MG dose.
I highly recommend this product to stop smoking.
One other thing IMHO....if you cannot throw away your cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays and if you hide cigarettes (just in case) then you are not ready to quit.
Product Review: Not what I ordered
Summary: 1 Stars
The image does NOT show that these lozenges are MINT flavor. I did NOT order MINT flavor, but that is what I got.
The regular flavor Commit lozenges work a treat. I do NOT like the flavor of MINT and did not order MINT!
Product Review: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY
Summary: 5 Stars
Listen up, this will save your life. This really works, BUT. Please be carful when starting the lozenges. 4mg is a LOT and very strong and I'm 240lbs. I "WAS" a cigar smoker and this worked for me. My girlfriend is only 120lbs and smokes regular cigs. She tried only a 1/4 piece of the 4mg lozenge and was very dizzy and lightheaded. She could NOT go on with the lozenges. So please, if you are starting out try a lower dosage first, then work your way into it (if needed). Then you can ween yourself off the lozenge by lowering the dosage over 2 months. These lozenges work way better then you think. I don't recommend to take them as directed, the company wants you to take a LOT all day long. Please be carful. They also want you to run out fast so you buy more! Just take the lozenges when you need them, not BEFORE you need them all day long. If that's the case you will be addicted to them and the company knows this they are NOT stupid. I would say only put a little bit in your mouth when you have a craving. Break the lozenges in half. If you have to. You will start to calm down after about 3 minutes, then after 10 minutes (5 for me) you may have forgotten about smoking and start thinking about something else. I have not smoked a cigar for 2 weeks thanks to these lozenges. One cigar has more nicotine then a pack of cigarettes. It's a real pain in the butt to break the lozenge into 4 pieces. So try to find lower dosage lozenges - to start with -. But just a warning, the 4mg lozenge will knock you on your butt if you are a sensitive person. Good luck and live a happy smoke free life!!Product Review: PRICKLY MINT
Summary: 1 Stars
Once this mint is in the mouth it feels like prickly sandpaper. It doesn't taste like any mint I've ever ingested, and it sticks to whatever part of the surface of your mouth it's laying on if you don't constantly move it around. To be frank, I'd rather swallow it and take my chances being digested as medication, rather than have to have this in my mouth of ANY length of time. Would definitely NOT recommend this product to anyone trying to stop smoking. There's got to be a better way than ingesting and having to endure prickly, irritating, awful tasting logenges like this just to stop smoking.Product Review: Powerful aid, but you better have your mind made up
Summary: 5 Stars
As with any aid to quit smoking, the real test is yourself, is your mind truly made up to quit?? Mine was, I work out on a treadmill and while I still smoked, well into the workout my heart rate was topping off at about 140 bpm, after quitting and starting on the Commit program, it wasn't long my heart rate during the same workout was down to 128!! This along with the high cost of cigerettes, not to mention overall health, was enough for me not to wait for some iron lung device 5 yrs from now. I am 52 now and have smoked for some 35 odd years so this was no small task for me. My point is, my mind was made up, and with the aid of this lozenge, which by the way really does take care of the nicotine withdrawal, and was a very powerful aid in helping me to quit. I am in the 9th week now of the program without a cigerette and I have no desire for one, I have cut back on the lozenges to the point where I don't even much think of them anymore, pop one in just to stay with the program. Lolipops help with the fixation to have something in my hand. All in all I give this item a two thumbs up, but don't expect them to do it for you! One other thing, as with anything, don't blame the lozenge for dependancy on it, you can get addicted to just about anything, just cut back gradually like they tell you, and stick with the program.
One last thing, amazon beat my local grocery store, a LARGE chain by the way, by $10 per box!
