Hi,
My Dr has put me on Clonidine or the Catapres-TTS-1 patch for pain I am experiencing from RSD. I placed it on Sunday afternoon and about 24 hours later I started feeling very worn out and drowsy. Today I am starting to feel a little better. It has only been 4 days so I've not noticed any difference in the pain so far. Are there any other side effects that anyone has experienced from the medications short term or long term...? The patch is starting to come loose around the edges and I have a problem with adhesive tape. Does anyone have any idea's that may help me keep it adhered without having to use the adhesive patch that they provide with the medication patch. The pharmacist also told me to place the patch in the area where I have the most pain which is my right arm. Is this true or can I place it on the shoulder area with the same results? Also, can I sit in the jacuzzi with the patch on? Thanks Dawn
