Hi jasmine5, I have been on patches for 5years + and recently decided to come off them after a few issues. I have been gradually cutting a bit off every few weeks with the hope of coming off them completely. All was going well with only a few flushes returning at night, until i got down to about 1/4 of a patch. Everything started to dry up, first time this had happened. Bad fuzzy heads, headaches, nausea aches and pains, health anxieties etc etc started to come back. I put the patch back up to 1/2 and although i still have a lot of the above, it is not as bad. Going on hoilday next week so didn't want to have a bad time while away. I will keep trying when i get back to come off them. Just want to be through this nightmare once and for all. xx
