Neupro 2mg

I'm almost afraid to "put mouth on it" but I have started the Neupro 2mg patch (1mg was not enough) and have had 3 nights of the most restful sleep I have ever had. It's not a drugged sleep, but a refreshing sleep. The first couple days were rough - headache and nausea in the morning, but that seems to be gone. There was also a night when the edges of the patch didn't stick and I had some Mirapex withdrawal symptoms again; then I looked at the wrapper for the patch and it was expired. I'm hoping this keeps up. Fingers crossed.
