chronic pain
"This drug works great for me, it takes for me 16 hrs to fully seem to get into my system. In the past I took the Vicoprofen (hydrocodone & Ibropfen) 7.5 mg.

I started out with12.5 patch,  after 1 1/2 yrs It was changed to applying every 48 hrs, after 2 yrs my dose is now 25 patch.

 Your body does get used to it, if after a year or so you become nervous, nauseated, headaches or feel dizzy and sick with headache, nausea, pain its no doubt time to change your patches application time or dose.

 I didn't know why I was getting too sick, the ER doc explained to me it was withdrawal symptoms, I didn't like to hear that but being we are dependent on them for pain (rather than being an addict), it can happen. 

IMPORTANT start taking a stool softner"
