I had a similar experience with Duragesic (fentanyl) patches. I was on 100 mcg every 72 hours and they were not helping much and every third day was hell and a good portion of the first day of a new patch. The doc wanted to up it to 150 mcg, but I convinced him to let me try changing the patch every 48 hours instead. That is working MUCH better for me. Now granted, I am still in pain everyday, but at least I don't have the huge flare ups every 3rd day now.
