Can I split nicotine patches?

Posted by zonked on July 21, 2011, at 16:34:52

Hey all:

Until my insurance pays for my 21mg patches, I do have a box of 16mg patches left over. What I want to do, perhaps, is cut the patches in half with scissors before peeling off the adhesive, so I can use 1.5 patches total (30.5 mg) until I can get my 21mg patches.

16mg is not enough to assauge the nicotine WD symptoms. (And no amount of patch gets rid of the psychological portion, that's for me to deal with regardless.)

Unless this is considered dangerous. I would seal the daily half-patch with scotch tape until the next day. Now, I know that's more nicotine than the 21mg patches, but I don't know how else to do this, unless cutting them in 1/4s is feasible.

I will let you know what I decide to do. I have them at home, I'll get one out and have a look with a pair of scissors.
