Chronic Pain
"They have been good and bad for myself, mostly good, I was in a accident the messed up my back and surgery hasn&#039;t been an option at this point. I started out probably like everyone taking in way to many vicoden to percocet to oxytocin it got to be a fistful of pills everyday. Made me feel like a junkie. I can honestly say I would probably be dead if weren&#039;t for the patches. I change them every 48 hours and I&#039;ve been on the same dose for about 8 years. My biggest worry/complaint is that I&#039;m physically dependant on them and Vivid dreaming it&#039;s kinda freaky and being sleepy sometimes but the pain is tolerable.  I&#039;m on the PAP program (patient assistiance program) for low income so doesn&#039;t cost anything.  They are very expensive"
