My doctor is going to give me a script for this next week. Is anyone on this now and how does it make you feel? i have taken percocets before but it was only 5mg. i have been on the cymbalta 120 mgs for 2 years now. i can't take the lyrica or neurontin as they make my edema worse in my feet and legs. so the patch is my next choice. i can't walk now without pain so i basically sleep all the time. im really excited to know i might beable to start doing more things soon is the patch really does help my pain. I have pain all over my body, hands, arms, back. anyone that can give me some advice would be great. thanks.
