Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 , the duragesic patches are available only by prescription and are much, much stronger than any of the patches you can find over the counter. Just thought I'd let you know if no one else has. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 , best things is to see if the doctor thinks you need such a strong dosage. Most physicians like to start on a small dosage of medicine and then work up to the higher meds. You could ask about the Duregisic patches (or fentanyl patches, same thing), but don't be surprised if the doctor wants to try you on something lower in dosage first. Just thought I'd let you know. Also, there are such things as elixirs if you in many medications if you don't like pills, and fentanyl has some lollipops that work well for breakthrough pain only. Just a headsup.
