> Hi. I just started the 9 mg patch three days ago. Previous to that, I was on the 6 mg patch. I've noticed that I'm having a hard time adapting to the 9 mg patch. I've nauseous, dizzy, and very tired. The first night, I had a very difficult time staying awake, and felt extremely dizzy and nauseous. I think I'm slowly adapating to the change in medication. Has anyone experienced these changes when going up in dosage? Thanks.
I have gone from 6 to 9 and now am on 12mg I guess for about a month, I loose track. Anyway, I have not had any of those side effects and have had none on dosage increase. the higher I go, the less irritable I am which is the only thing that is bothersome. And as Scott said about insomnia, that is no reason to stop it, there are too many ways to treat irritability, Lamicatl doin a good job of that for me. I am getting alot more benefits than the one side effect of irritablity. I hope that gives you some hope.
