Hi Morgan, I have a fent patch and on the 25mcg aswell. I keep it on the back of my shoulders, however because of my RSD it makes me sweat bad so often usally after the 2nd day it starts to fall off so i have to put tape around the edges to keep it on. I also noticed after the 2nd day the med starts to wear off, so i will ask my dr if we can change it every 48hrs instead of every 72. Also when you take a shower buy those big waterproof bandaids or the patch because it was like the med turned hard and it no longer had liqued in it because it had gotten wet. This med has defently been my saving grace pain wise, i now have some good days again!
