I was glad to hear someone else is on this patch - my husband has had neuropathy for 12 years and has just started on this (about 2 months now) after everything else stopped working and he was "falling apart". He's on 125mg every other day.
He still finds he has to take the Oxycodone for breakthrough a few times a week. You mention "it takes the edge off" - does it ever go away? I think my husband was looking for it to do more, but is now accepting that this is probably as good as it gets?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks, Linda
