Lois, I did not quit yesterday as planned. Today did some research on the patches found out the patches I had were the wrong ones; it is a 3 step starting with a 21mg patch for 2 weeks. So it looks like my goal is still at hand. Dr appt on july 9 and my disability check will be here one the 3rd so it is a real possibility i can tell my dr i quit when i go see him. I can get the equte brand at walmart much cheaper than named brand and it is the same ingredients as others. I will WIN this fight.
