Apologies if this has been asked before (I did do a search but couldn't find anything).
I started off on pill form, but so far it hasn't agreed with me, so I thought I would try patches.  I'd read somewhere that it bypasses the liver (or something) so gets right to where it's needed.
Have you noticed any advantages when it comes to patches as opposed to pill form?

(if my patches don't work, I will be going back to the pills!)  But I want to give them a good try first.   (when I have the right prescription sorted out  that is - the doc has given me the wrong type of patch:-\)

I started on pills too, but changed to gel, now patches. Definitely safer using patches or gel compared to pills. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

I think patches are usually easier to tolerate, also, they aren't affected by things like stomach upsets. For me, they are so much easier to use than pills.
