Hello Debbie. How are you doing now? I guess this post came out before I was a member here. I just started on the Fentynal patch 25 mcg myself a few days ago along with percocet for bt pain. So far, so good. It is NOT feeling very strong to me right now. It is helping me out to deal with some pain better tho. Its just sorta making my back pain from Spinal Stenosis and Bulging Discs more manageable. I am grateful for it so far. I do not feel like its as strong as some others have been for me, however. Its just really important to me to just be outta pain enough to manage my life, and not to at all feel high. I may ask my pain dr. to increase my dose the next time i see him tho. I ws wondering, since you wrote this post, has anything gotten better at all for you yet? Whats your current pain regimen now? Mykinzie
