> So none of you think the 6mg patch works? I'm planning on going on it and my pdoc said I probably wouldn't need the whole patch. Love Phillipa ps so is it worth going off the luvox? My other choice was to raise it.
As with everything, YMMV. Some people seem to get relief from the 6 mg patch (or even less) while others need a higher dose. Six weeks is considered a reasonable amount of time to see if a particular dosage is effective before moving up to a higher dose.
I'm at the 6 week mark now on the 6 mg. There seems to be some subtle improvement but my pdoc agreed to let me try the 9 mg patch & see if it results in more dramatic changes.
