Hello Cathy,
Thank you so much for your post and the help.
As you probably know once you decide to make the change your mind is swamped with questions and concerns.  My mind is likely my on worse enemy now and it is still 2 weeks from Monday til I see my doctor.  So I want to be prepared when I go in to see her to tell her I want to get off the patches.  
Once again thank you and by far this is the best site that I have seen on the web.  Everything else was awful and has scared me to death and made me physically sick to even read it and I haven't even started to ween yet.
Your help and post is greatly appreciated.
