pain
"I have found this medication to be very successful for me. I started on the 20 mcg/hr patch because of post op nerve pain continually wakening me throughout the night (with all the results a lack of sleep has on you both physically and mentally). Through the use of the patches, I have been able to finally sleep the night through and reduce other medicines (Lortab/Flexiril/Klonipin) and stop one other completely. It is a low enough dose that doesn't make you all loopy while still strong enough to have a long term effect on my arch nemesis and yours, pain. Even if my insurance didn't pay for it, it is the one medicine I would still purchase out of pocket."
