I have the Actiq Fentanyl suckers..600mcg. Mine are raspberry

flavoured. My insurance was not going to cover them for me, as they

are mainly used for chemo patients, but when I explained to my

insurance case manager, that the pain doctor suggested these because

1) they work fast for breakthrough pain, and 2) when having an

attack, I can't keep down water let alone tablets, and this way the

pain medicine was still getting into my system to do some good.

So they finally approved it.

There are 3 strengths. I think mine is the strongest strength.
