I went down to 50 mcg from 100 mcg after my last surgery, but have been unable to go any lower. Still having a real rough time with the sciatic pain and pain in my hips. I will try to post more later, but the short version of my story is that although my front leg pain is much better since the last surgery, the pain in the low back, back of legs, and hips is real bad. I am still far from being a fully functioning person, have very little qualtiy of life, still on more meds than I care to be, and truthfully, I don't feel as I have any options left anymore. As for the patches, it has me a little concerned about what exactly the "defect" is and how they are sure it does not affect the other dosages. If you are on the 25 mcg, it must be really hard to get your meds. The only other brand I know of is Mylan, and in my opinion they aren't worth the money. Could never get that brand to stick to me for more than a couple hours and they are intended to last 2 to 3 days. Have not heard of any Mylan recalls though. There has always been somewhat of a risk even before the recall, and I would advise anyone who feels "different" after changing a patch to remove it and contact their doctor.

Wow Susan... I'm so sorry to hear your report. It doesn't seem so long ago that I saw you looking so much improved after your surgery. Did you improve, then backslide? Or, were you hopeful with some improvement after your surgery and were expecting more, but it never came? Other scenarios?
I hope to hear better news in the future... All the best.... Mark PS... other duragesic thread here... FDA Fentanyl Warning
