I like this because it doesnt pass through my digestive system but it still makes me constipated and sometimes nauseous.

no

I've only used a few, less then 5 in several months. Helps when I over do and can't get rid of the upper back and shoulder pain. I also have to stop working.

The pain pathces help to minimize some of the pain.

I would'nt be able to get out of bed w/out them..100mcg patches changing every 48 hrs

patch worked well. only stopped because medicaid won't pay for it until i try every other pain med available first. how long can that take??

took a while to adapt, but find it very helpful now in relieving neck, shoulder pain while breathing.

Has saved my life. It just gives out small doses of medication at a time. Never feel like I did when I took a narcotic by mouth.

works great! Flexor patch

I started at 25mcg. Now I'm at 100mcg every 48 hours. I use Tylox for break-through pain. The biggest problem I've found with this is trying to find a place on my body to put it where it won't show. I'm small (96 lbs) and the patch is pretty big. Surgical menopause caused severe hot flashes which made the med come out faster than it was supposed to, that's why I'm using it every 48 instead of 72 hours.
