I had problems with the adhesive and we simply use baby powder on the outer edge of the patch and then put a transdermal patch over it. One of 2 things might be happening. You may have a patch that doesn't have enough of the meds in it (happened to me a couple of times) or the patch is releasing too much med. sweating does cause the patch to release more meds. But you can keep from sweating by using a cool pack on your neck.
