What causes IRC to throw "nickname is already in use":
1. You are not closed your previous session of IRC chat
a) Trying to login with same nickname in another place/application with
existing active connection.
2. You are internet connectivity disconnected & IRC server not released
your session.
How to fix:
a) /msg nickserv ghost <your_nickname> <password>
b) /msg nickserv <your_nickname>
b) /msg NickServ identify <password>

I am on weechat and the second command did not work. I used /nick instead.
/nick worked for the second command in LimeChat
/nick doesn't actually do the same thing as messaging the nickserv. /nick just sets your nick it doesn't actually authenticate as that name. If you have setup a nick with the nick server you need to message that server with your password to assume that name.
