Sounds as tho the Mallinckrodt is worthless past the 48-hour mark.
Did you get full-on withdrawal symptoms at this point? I did. And, as we know all too well, it's hard to get on top of the pain again once the medication completely wears off.
I have hydrocodone for breakthru pain and even THAT wouldn't get me back above the pain
I appreciate your input!

Sorry for falling off the thread. Yes, I begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms as the patch wears off: cold sweats, body/joint aches, depression, etc. I now have several months experience with the 100 mcg/hr Mylan and Mallinckrodt patches. They both stink, to put it bluntly. Both pretty much expire past the 36 hour point. No help in sight. It would cost me a $1400 co-pay to go to the Duragesic patch - not going to happen.
