Oh, I tried this patch soon after it was put on the market. I thought for certain I was going to throw up a lung! I put it on after the Dr. prescribed it and went in to work. Well, I didn't get much work done. I spent my entire day in the bathroom throwing up! I had a 20 minute ride home from work, so there was no way I could drive home until my Dr. called in something to stop the throwing up (one of my employees had to go pick it up for me).

Needless to say, once I realized the vomiting was not going to stop, I took the patch on and never put another one on me again!!!
