I believe there is something to the nicotine and caffeine combo. Like I said in the guest book several days ago, even though I quit smoking regularly six years ago, I can keep my HAs completely away during the day with the "brothers." Quitting after the cycle ends is another issue. I'm glad to see people being honest here, because I believe some of the long term side effects from all the prescribed meds have some rather frightening implications as well. The cycles that followed my decision to quit smoking increased anywhere from two to five a day (including nights), but after the reintroduction of the 'brothers' I have only 1 each night or every other night. Much more manageable. I'm going to try to use a patch next week for nic and see if that will work so I don't have to put up with all the other crap that comes from smoking.
