I am not an M.D., but I would say "No". I think there are warning for that on the package labels.

I would be fearful of a nicotine overdose. I remember feeling like just one of those was giving me much more than I needed.

Too much nicotine will make you sick...I'd go with one or the other. If you go with the patch but feel like you need a little extra kick of nicotine - rub the patch a little. Take it one day at a time!
