I'm not interested in getting tips and info on how to misuse these things.

I am 60-years old and have used both Watson reservoir patches and Mylan, Sandoz, and Mallinckrodt matrix patches. I was born with a congenital birth defect affecting my bones, Ollier's Disease, and have osteoarthritis to boot. I have had lumbar surgery to repair a fractured spine and two herniated discs, and have broken nearly every bone in my hands and feet twice, and including hips, tibia, ankles, you name it. I currently use (20) 100mcg/hr patches each month as well as other narcotics to manage chronic pain. I do know what I am talking about, but I regret not specifically addressing your question.
