I am so glad everything is going better. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I looked up the patch and it still has the same warnings of abuse and addiction that adderall does. That concerns me because i remember what adderall was like. But since this is a patch, i don't see much 'abuse' happening. Try to stay away from the pills if you can!! have a great day! God bless!

I have no experience w/ any of the patches, but thought I would pass along that some parents say the patch is hard to remove from the protective paper, but found the solution to be putting the patches in the fridge which makes them easier to remove. Just something to stick in the back of your brain in case you ever need it.

Thanks, Alwayz and 3kidz!!! I wouldn't think that my daughter would go through the trouble of putting lots of these patches on especially since she will have a tough enough time getting the backing off!!!

She's not very patient to begin with!!

Anyway....I have heard that the patches ARE difficult to get on as far as the backing and also with them sticking as well.....seems that you have to hold it in place for a bit pressing until it finally sticks.

She isn't even starting the patches for a while since the doctor would like to see how she does on the Lamictal first and then take it from there. I will keep you posted but it may be a few months before we actually start with the patch.

Thanks for the info....I soo appreciate it.

Love ~ Goody
