I would be careful with patches of any sort. It's easy to get a patch that has something else than advertised (if not prescribed) any may have chemicals that are not safe under U.S standards if they are sourced internationally. A lot of patches advertised ingredients can't even absorb through the skin.
Yes and they did nothing. It's a marketing gimmick. Modafinil targets your dopamine norepinephrine receptor/transmitters to stimulate them. You need a prescription for that and it isn't easy to get one.
No I haven’t heard about that but dopamine deficiency is what creates restless syndrome. I’ll ask my doc about that. Right now I take a Parkinson’s medicine for my uncontrollable kicking at nite. Been on it for 26 years and started at .0125 mg and now take 4.5 mg per night. This sounds intriguing. Thanks for the heads up
Yes i agree and I'm guessing that's why I've been hesitant to try, not to mention the cost as well. If it would be free or very cheap maybe, but at this time to be on the safe side, I think I'll hold off trying.
