With patch: Your chance of quitting is likely to be better with the patch. Taper it as tolerated according to directions.. Certainly if you have any further emotional difficulties, please contact your psychiatrist. Best wishes for happy holiday season.

Quitting smoking: Firstly, good for you. Secondly. Cold turkey is better. It will take about a week of no smoking for the anxiety to subside and your system to normalize again.
