Hi Augie, Thank you so much for your post and I'm going to show it to my Pain management dr.
My dr. said he won't go higher than the 50mcg because after a while your body continues to need more and more as your body adjusts because your pain continues to get worse and worse. My pain is always at 8-9 level, horrible, and I can't find any meds to cover the pain. I'm using the patch, and 100/650 Darvocet and Balocet.......nothing works.
Thanks again for your post and I'm printing off so I can show my dr. I hope I can talk him in to at least trying a higher dose, I've tried everything else!
