Lepus,
Get up tomorrow, wash a small place on your body according to instructions and put your 1/4 or whatever patch on.
Honestly and please. If you could ever take seroquel (sorry, bad reaction to that here) or an ssri or snri, this was nothing. A non event. I was really scared. The box sat for two days before I (boldly) used 1/2 patch.
I felt not a thing much until the second day. Not horrible. I took some xanax. Now you know the real trouble was tsh.
I react to some really ordinary medicines. This, nothing--just avoid hot tubs Unless you want to have a dose surge :-/
Showers are just fine.
You could put the quarter patch on now. I had no sleep interference the first day.
Please. Good luck! Remember, if you freak out, and get anxious, take it off. Call your doc or just post.
You will most likely cake walk this.
Do you have a sleep med (seroquel) for when it '!hits' (48 hours on half patch for me)
