this is ending my first week using these neupro patches. started off with the 2 mg, going up to the 4 mg patches tuesday. it is the sample pack i got from the neurologist. just a couple questions for anyone that uses or knows.

i know it is only 2 mg, but it seems to only last about 16 hours. i put a new one on about 6am, seems to kick in around 9-10 am. goes really good until about 8-9 pm. go to bed around 10pm and then around 3 am i wake up to the start of tremors. i do go back to sleep, but it seems that the tremors go and get worse until around 9-10 am. will this get any better as the dosage goes up? and its not like a light switch, the up and down is gradual.

the directions say to move the patch placement around. how many of you do that? do you change the position on your body daily, side to side, different area? i did shoulder one day, other side next, back and both thighs. the side is the one i wont do again.

last one i can think of, weekends. how do you do when you sleep late? normally i am up at about 530am, didnt get up until about 7 this morning. seems those two hours really just impacted my whole day, just shook most of it.

sorry about the long post. sure i have more questions, just cannot remember them at the moment. guess something else to look forward to. i know i am just starting out with this stuff, and the neurologist said i would probably be in the 6-8 mg range, so just wondering if this so far is normal as far as the peak and valley.

thanks if you read down this far.
