OMG, Janie,
You cannot just cold turkey the patch. There is some mighty powerful medication in there that is extremely addictive. You absolutely MUST wean down. They have patches in 25, 50, 75. Whatever level you are taking, they should take you down a notch for like a month at a time. That's serious stuff you're playing with, and I can only imagine the heebies and jeebies you must have felt! Quit trying to be a hero--it's only hurting you, and no one, especially anyone who knows about these meds, thinks less of you for needing to take it slow.
