Hi I am 47 and have chronic pain. I am scheduled to see a pain specialist next week. In the meantime, I have been using a duregisic patch. My cousin also has chroic pain and uses the patch. It comes in different strengths, I use the 50 and he uses the 100. They are timed released and stay on for 3 days. I was also prescribed Neurotin. The doctor explained that the Neurotin will build up and control the pain once the optimal dose is achieved. IN the meantime, he is having me use the patch and use Perocet as a pain breaker. See you have to stop the cycle of pain then hopefully I will get off the patch. Please feel free to contact me. As I said, I see the pain specialist next week and will have more info. My cousin is also going to see a pain specialist and we will be comparing notes. Good luck.
