Nicotine Holds Promise for Stronger Stroke Recovery

What you get with nicotine is the animals with stroke show better recovery and improvement. It speeds things up and you get to a higher level of rehabilitation.
It turns out that nicotine, in contrast to amphetamines, acts in a larger area of the brain and seems to act where the amphetamines don't - in the motor system. That's a real advantage, because one of the big problems in stroke is loss of motor functions.
I have never smoked and don't plan on starting or using patches.
Don't consider this an endorsement of nicotine being good for your recovery.
Ask your doctor for guidance on this.
