I am the same age as you and I just wondered why you wanted to discontinue with your patch?
They are available in different doses, I wonder if you would be able to reduce the dose gradually that way

If considering weaning off, try lowering patch size over a period of time. You can get 50mg, 37.5mg & 25mg. Maybe lower to 50 for a while to see how it goes.
