Not yet, but it has a much better rating of 3.9 on the "Ask a Patient" Website, compared to 2.7 for Lyrica, which I stopped taking after 2 weeks, even though it did a decent job of managing the pain...

Duragesic: http://www.askapatient.com/viewratin...name=DURAGESIC

Lyrica: http://www.askapatient.com/viewratin...23&name=LYRICA

Reading patients reports is really what decided me to dump it, rather than sit it through and hope that the vision blurring, bloating, weight gain, water retention in feet and other sundry side effects would eventually go away...

Of course, the doctor argued that these reports are weighted to the negative side, which is likely correct, but they're still very relevant when medicines are compared to each other with a point system and the same bias...

Please, tell me more how it worked for you and how the "titration" was done...
