I'm on and have been for 11 years. It works great for me. The lowest dose has no dietary restrictions. The middle and high dose do. However my pdoc is pretty lenient with them on the middle dose after talking to the developer of the drug. On the highest dose I'm on the restrictions but I'm rarely on the high dose.

I find the patches stick pretty well on my upper outer thighs. I had a lot more trouble when I used to use them on my chest or arms. It helps to get them to stick if you put them on after a shower when your skin is warm and then hold your hand over the patch for about 15 seconds. Make sure there isn't any lotion where you are applying it.

It's been an amazing drug for me. I hope it is for you too. If I can answer any more questions please post.
