Definately the most effective for relieving pain on a round the clock basis, ESPECIALLY for that first thing in the morning pain (I guess cos' the level is constant & therefore already working upon wakening instead of having to wait for pills to kick in). No side effects.

I think these are great you dont have to bother with another pill everyday just change a patch every 3. Rubbing acohol will take off any left over glue.

they seem to be helping a lot getting the little buggers to stick on is the problem i am on 12 and 25mg patches i can use both together if im REALLY bad but it puts you to sleep.. not good i stopped smoking and i had to have a meds review my circulation was working better and so were my meds!

This is the one method that I know works but Im addicted. If I forget to change the patch I can be a real bitch.

This has worked the best for pain especially in the morning since it's already in my system when I wake up but my dr doesn't like my RX plan which requires mail in 3 month supply for 'maintenence meds' and wont cover it month to month so guess I'll look forward to the lovely gift of decreased pain relief for the holidays.

Worked perfectly but stopping using them was one of the most difficult things Ive ever done. I dont plan on using them again once the baby is here.
