I am sorry to hear that you went through so much pain on Saturday. I am a

little confused, though. Can you explain what exactly the plan was for your pain

management? Was your doctor trying to wean you off the patch or put you on the

patch?

I take Fentanyl (Duragesic) Patches. I use three of the 100 mcg. I also take

the ACTIQ 1600 mcg. Both of these medications are Fentanyl, which is the one

thing that works for me. Contrary to the belief that effective pain control is

difficult because of consistent medication delivery. I also use the adhesive

covers from Janseen. With the ACTIQ oral lozenges I keep it under my tongue and

resist biting, just like the tootsie roll pops. They become inactivated when

they are abruptly broken, such as with a bite.
