"i was put on vicidin first for my chronic back pain, didn&#039;t work then the doctor said to try injections they worked for about a month. then i got pain so bad i couldn&#039;t get out of bed 1/2 the time and my family doctor said he didn&#039;t want to give me anything stronger because of seizure medicines i was on. i tried everything for pain, then someone suggested pain management finally a doctor listened. he put me on the fentanyl patch. i feel like i&#039;m 20 again. i can work, do things i couldn&#039;t do before with me kids and grandkids. this patch is a god send. i did experience heavy sweating and vomiting and dozing off till my body became adjusted. now i still get the nodding off effect occasionally,  and itching where the patch is."
