Chronic Pain
"Years ago I was on the older formula of Fentanyl and it worked wonders with minimal dosage &amp; breakthrough meds. After the companies reformulated the drug it isn&#039;t nearly as good as it used to be &amp;has many more side effects, brand depending. Mylan works best for me as far as fewer side effects but none work for the 72 hours they are supposed to. Originally, my max dose was 75mcg for 1.5 years prior to surgery. This time I am up to 125mcg w/in the first year + 10/325 Norco 4x daily +muscle relaxers for auto fusion of L3-S1. Pain level on day 1 is @7, day 2 is @4, day 3 is @8. I have to put my new patches on before taking the old off or life is hell. Thanks to drug addicts, illegal activity &amp; government interference Doc can no longer help."
