[aswellfella]

Hi brocels,

I've been taking nicotine gum for energy + a otc aromatase inhibitor for higher T. Problem is, I feel VERY dizzy afterward. Can any premedcel explain this to me? No, I don't smoke. This is really my first real exposure to nicotine, That other post where I said I'd buy "smokie wokies"? Yeah, I didn't end up doing that.

what do you mean by this?

tobacco ( / nicotine) is a soft drug like alcohol. It's normal for it to have effects like this depending on how sensitive you are to it and how much you take.

take less or take it slower.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember correctly, nicotine makes your veins contract (or expand, don't remember) and the change in blood pressure is what makes you feel dizzy I believe. So taking it slower should make it less sudden and give your body more time to get used to it. Not sure how you can take it slower with gum tho...

Or just keep doing what you've been doing and develop a bit of a resistance over time.

I don't smoke often but it puts me in a very good mood, far outweighs any dizziness for me.
