thanks for the info. I called my PCP 5 min. ago and asked then to switch me to the nongeneric brand of the patch. Last week I called CVS and the pharmisist said a lot of people have problems with the generic brand, from falling off to not lasting the 72 hrs. They recomended that I change after 48 hrs and inform my doc and ask him to rewrite the script. He's been closed since Wednesday, so this was the first chance I've had to do that. I want to see if the brand mane makes as big a difference as what I've heard and for my Insurance to change to "no referal" before I look for another doc.

all the best to you,

dave
