Thank you for the feedback. I agree it would seem unlikely that GI effects might result from a transdermal patch, just because the medication follows a different and more immediate course than by the oral route. I stopped my patch Friday afternoon and today, Sunday, the painful gut spasms and nausea are much improved. I was wearing the patch on my abdomen - maybe this intensified effects? though the abdomen is a designated site on the package. I'm going to wait three or four more days and see - if my gut continues to get better I'll try the patch again. If crash occurs with a new patch I find an actual SE to be more likely.
