I have these power surges and as I stated, rashes from the adhesive shich I showed both the doctor and pharmacist where I got the patch. I wish I could get on oxy. Everyone that knows my condition and pain medication say that I need oxy and not this garbage.
Another consideration is what if a cop stops you and see the patch. DUI time maybe.
The medication may be strong but frankly I can't feel it over lortab 10 except for these 'power surges' and its not much stronger. Plus in this state, I can get up to 5 refills on the lortab. Its a monthly out of town visit for a perscription of the patch..
I hate this thing. Maybe that the patch is unpopular is the reason I have trouble finding it in a three block radius and 5 major chain drugstores did not even keep it on my first refil.
I am considering withdrawl from this whole pain probititon despite a recent MRI stated that I have my 2 lower disks protuding into my left sciatic nerve and begining to bulge into my right sciatic never.
Or maybe I will move to a more enlightend country.
And if you have actually tried the patch, it feels horible on your skin and I have to keep moving it around. If this is the best I can get, its time to find a new doctor.
On second though, I have never met a docto that wasn't some prima donna Best if kept off the board-head.
