Keep taking it Sharzi,(or applying it i shoild say) :) it's been doing a great job for me. I recently (after staying on 6mgs. for 6 wks) bumped up to 9 mgs. and i like 9 better..i'm definitely less irritable on 9 mgs. and have more energy and motivation.
My only side effects have been early morning wakening..for a while i was only getting 4-5 hrs a night..not enough for me. But a combination of Trazodone and newly added Lyrica has been helping..since adding the Lyrica i have been getting 7, which is perfect for me (just hope it lasts. The other side effect is a rash where the patch was, even with cleaning really well, i still get them and they sometimes itch..i have marks all over my body :) But i can live with this if it keeps working well for me. Best wishes.
