I too am in curiosity about cutting the patch, I ma on the 30mg patch and if I leave it on too long I get an onset of hypomanic symptoms. I was thinking if I could cut it slightly ( by the math I've done would be just a couple of cm^2) then I could wear it continuously and not have to take it off liek you were doing. Please let me know if you were successful. Thanks in advance.

> PaulPaul, my pdoc said I could cut the patch. I did so with no problem. You just want to make sure to wash your hands so you don't rub your eyes with
with the med on your fingers. It's evenly distributed so cutting it in half gives a half dose, etc. It's the only way to lower the dose since it is in patch form. You can cut off as much as you want to try it at different doses. Good luck....
