I was curious... the patches are made to wear for 72 hours... why are you changing them after only 24hrs... I know in some cases the doctor maybe prescribe you to change them every 48hrs due to skin irritation but my doctor gave me 5 extra a month for this reason.... Why are you having to stop them?  Not to scare you or anything but the withdrawals are horrid. Good luck!
