I don't know exactly what about it you
want to know. You said you had used it
before so it may have worked for you.
The only thing I can say is that I used it
and hated it. It just got in the way and
when I took it off it smelled so bad.
Just like leaving a bandaid on for one
month, uuuuhh!
But a lot of people don't have a problem
with it.

Hey.. Posted: 02-28-04 14:32pm
Ive been on the patch for about 5-6
months. I like it, you keep it on for a
week and it doesnt get in the way. I
always put it on my shoulders, alternating
right and left. I tried putting it on my
abdomen, but it fell off after three days
from my pants/ underwear rubbing against
it. The only tow things that I have to
complain about are that after you take it
off it still has that like blye sticky
stuff(like after you take a bandaid off)
but its never really smelled. I also
started having daily headaches, so I would
take advil ever single day. I later
found out that from taking advil everday
for these headaches that wouldnt go away,
I was actually addicted to the advil.
Besides headaches for the first few months
(mine are pretty much gone now) and for
the sticky stuff, I like the patch.
Hopes this helps.

I have been using the patch for about 5
months now, and I love it. It is so
convenient, you don't have to worry about
remembering to take a pill everyday. I
have never put it on my shoulder. I
usually put it on my abdomin or my butt.
But, when I put it on my butt sometimes
the corners roll in, and they get stuck to
my pants. Other than that, its great. It
is just as effective as the pill. I have
never had a patch come off, but if it does
you can go to the pharmacy and pick up an
extra. The only thing about using the
patch is that you have to think ahead of
time, where you are going to put the
patch, according to the activities you are
going to do for the week. You don't want
to put it on your back, if you are going
swimming or wearing a tank top, you know!
