I took fentanyl one time (in patch form), and it knocked me on my [censored].




My I just have a high tolerance..I don't know! But my Pain Management Clinic switched me from hydro 10/325 to Duragesic (fentanyl) patches for the months of August and September. They did squat for me. I was totally unimpressed. DON'T DO WHAT I DO but I did test the waters with this and nothing happened. I read all the info on this stuff and got scared out of my wits about people dying on the stuff, eating the patches, choking on the plastic....I begged the clinic to take me off them and put me back on hydro...no go...

Let me just say that these patches worked for me in a very subtle way, no euphoria but did make my pain manageable. I did not get addicted to them.




It isn't just you..I was on the 75 mcg. patch for a few weeks and it didn't do anything for me either..and was a PITA to deal with also. My doc put me on 90 mg. of Avinza (sustained release morphine) and that did the trick, but only until I could get to the pain management doc, who doesn't believe in prescribing pain meds, but prefers instead to stick 8 inch hot needles in your back to kill the nerve endings..which didn't help either..so now it's back to Hydro from OP's until my new insurance kicks in and I start the whole process over with a new team (PCP, ortho, and PMD).
