Pain
"I have been on the duragesic patches 100mcg every 2 days a little over 3 years for chronic pain due to a failed lumbar fusion surgery. Before going on the patch I was taking 10-15 loritab&#039;s a day , which tore my gastrointestinal system apart.  These patches were a Godsend. with norco as a break through med.  I usually only have to take if I get a little over active . The only reason I didn&#039;t rate a 10 was a few side effects sweats and constipation being the worse. gains beat that easy."
