I've had success with both Duragesic patches as well as Oxycontin (seaprate occasions of course). Oxycontin is a wonderful medication IF USED AS DIRECTED. It is long-acting Percocet (same as you've been taking but lasts 8-12 hours), but Oxycontin has no tylenol.
If you do choose Duragesic, put them on the outside of your upper arm, where you don't sweat, and move to your other arm for the next patch. ie don't put a new patch in the same exact place as a patch you just removed. I've read lots of posts here and elsewhere from people who somehow cannot get their patches to stay on for 72 hours. When I used to wear them, I'd have trouble tearing them off! (And I'm a hot person). You can also put medical tape over the patch if you have issues with it staying on. Put the patch on and press your palm on it firmly for about a minute and you should have no problems with it sticking for 3 days.
Good luck in your decision. Since you've been on Percocet, however, you're already taking Oxycontin in a sense--it is the same medicine without the Tylenol that lasts 8-12 hours instead of the 3 hours you suggest.
