dont ever heat it up. my brother had used one for the first time and heated it up and it made him die. i cant say it enought, its very dangerous, it was the gel kind. he read it online to do it and that it was safe..and well u can not believe everything u read, you hafta ask your own Dr. because now hes gone, and he was only 30 yrs old, my baby brother  RIP

your guess is as good as mine I have had 2 docs tell me at least 12 hrs a nurse say at least 12 hrs and the newest doc say 5 hrs so as far as I am concerned not even a doc can give a decent answer....go with what yer doc is saying if you trust them...I can not trust what any doc in my town says about it now so I refuse to take it anymore ....it has also put me in a life threatening situation cause I forgot to change my patch out....I personally think this drug is very dangerous and should be used with extreme caution

I have read through all of the Old Postings I found useful and I'm very happy they were there. Most of my questions were answered.
