My husband has had this patch for a couple of years now. It is hard to say whether it has helped as there is no way of knowing how he would be if he had not had it. I must say though when he first had it I did not notice any difference. The only problem he has is that it does irritate his skin somewhat, and sometimes has removed the patch without me knowing.

Thank you `jackback`,...........my husband improved within days of the patch ..........he still has his `moments`..........but i am pleased with results so far............I am told if the patch is stopped, the patient will `fast forward` to the place he/she would have been without the patch.. Are you getting support? I have a `sitting` service in place.....which is great if I have to go out , My husband has just had to spend some time in hospital, which upset him, and he was very confused...............I`m guessing it is change of environment.....strange people and all the hussle and bussle of hospital.................he has calmed down now he is home again.

interesting to hear this perspective on the patch. thanks for sharing babsmary
