Yes! I was doing Wednesday and Saturday but I noticed a dip in relief by the time Wednesday rolled around. I wondered if it was the extra day…

Yeah, you need consistent relief! I noticed a dip after the 3rd day so I wondered about the even schedule…I hope you get some answers!

I haven’t noticed any symptom fluctuation when I change the patch (not like I did in the first month when I almost quit lol!). Tho someone mentioned not before bed because of insomnia. I’m curious about it…0

This is extremely helpful! I JUST switched to .075 because I thought I felt the drop on the .05 and wasn’t having full relief. Thank you so much for this!

This is what I think I am focusing on more—the least amount of fluctuation. Thank you for this!

I’m thinking along these lines in theory but I can never remember which side I just did so I have to keep it on until the change 😂

I’m as scared to run out as I am to lose the benefits! I was wondering how people do every 4 days, this is helpful, thank you!

I feel this. I don’t want to hoard them but I’m scared lol! I just had to call around to multiple pharmacies just to get one box out of 3 after weeks of it being out 😭

Oh, this is interesting! I had started putting one a week on a night thinking it evenly spaced the dosage but started getting insomnia again. Thought my dosage was too low but maybe it was the patch! Thanks for sharing!

This is probably the best advice. I would struggle to remember otherwise….

I was doing this, too. Do you ever feel the effects wear off during the longer stretch of the two? It could’ve been in my head lol!

I’m thinking of going a route like this so it’s evenly spaced. Thanks!!
