What I meant was does the patch weaken in strength towards the end of the seven days.I guess I should e on the neuropathy site as I have neuropathy of the motor and sensory nerves.

I was on these. I changed them every monday. They never worked for me. I came out in huge red mark's everywhere. I hope they work for you. Good luck.

Hi there, I think the answer is in the question. Like it says 7 days.

I was on them previously. They release the same amount over a 24 hour period, so if you change patch roughly same time every 7th day, you should not notice any lessening of symptoms (although if I remember correctly there were certain situations could affect this)
