Im already on the fent patch, and it does work best for me, and im oxycodone. So my choices are going up on the fent patch to 50mcg, which is a time released med. So i often wonder if another time released med would help with the fent patch? The pain is just so bad and i need to get a little bit of relief. Actually my dr that gives my meds is my PCP but she understands chronic pain and thats why i go to her and shes been great at trying to manage my meds and trying anything i want.

You can try fenatyl but I personally hated it. It made me feel highly intoxicated. There have also been many that have OD'd on them...
