Interesting because I have been on a very high dose of narcotics since 2003....using the duragesic patches (fentynal) & they are absolutely wonderful.....change them every 72 hours.....none of the ups & downs I had with the pills that didn't work. Best of all, I have absolutely NO stoned feeling....never did. When they got the right dose.....I am also 100% pain free. It's strange though because there are times when I get the migraine symptoms....just not the pain with it. I had migraine pain 24/7 365 before getting on the right dose of the patches.....now I am able to function just as I did before I had the migraine pain.

Fibro may work differently.....but would think that the patches would work well as they are specifically for chronic pain. Know everyone reacts differently to the meds.......but I'm sure glad that I have had such great success.....wish it for everyone in pain as I know how horrible it is to not be able to function at all.
