I also lost a son at 24. He suffered from headaches. After practically being accused of been an addict he turned to drugs that were obtained illegally.He was not versed with the propper dosage and that was the result...his life! Dr's think they are gods.The patient should always be given the benefit of the doubt.I wonder how many others are driven to street drugs because of these often pompous morons!

That is so sad. I am very sorry for your loss. I am fortunate to have awesome doctors who LISTEN and are very observant as to whether or not people are trying to get their drug fix or if they are really sick or in pain. I wished your son could have been so lucky too. I don't know what I would do if I lost my daughter(only child-age 20)so I can't claim to know exactly what you are going through but I know it must be absolutely horrible. My deepest sympathy to you.

I have been experiencing SEVERE chronic pain since 1997, and without the Fentanyl Patch (Mylan brand), I was on so soooo many other medications that I was afraid I might not wake up one day. The patch made all the difference in the world for me, and while I still experience severe pain, it is better managed and I've been able to stop taking the other medications that truly were a danger to me. This being said, anyone using the patch, be careful not to apply heat to it as it CAN cause OD..

@gadammit69 I TOTALLY agree. I suffer from chronic pain due to nerve damage from 2 surgeries. Im only 29 years old and I got the ole "youre too young for chronic pain" from many doctors. Finally I found a pain mgmt doctor that treats my pain, I take my pain meds as prescribed, and have been switched to the Fentanyl patch. I feel so much better, I havnt been pain free since 08. Now I am. Thank GOD for doctors who actually listen.

@ssaltspring that is really unfortunate, I am worried I might lose my mom, she wont listen to me

@scarletsmith please dont be giving bad advice to people about this drug, a 25 mcg patch is equivalent to 90mg of morphine daily. also you cannot start any fentanyl product unless you are on at least 60mg of morphine a day.

@ballsweat69697 WOW! IDIOTS LIKE YOU are the reason people with LEGITIMATE chronic pain have such a difficult obtaining this drug. I broke my back, and ruptured many discs, my elbow, arm, and leg in a car wreck 3 years ago. I just was just switched on this medicine, and I take my pain meds as prescribed. People in terrible pain can find relief with this medicine when used properly. So FUCK you people who get them illegitimately. It makes REAL pain patient's lives so much more difficult.

There's got to be something else I can use to control my back pain

[CTRTrichome]

i love how you show this guys leg in your morphine video and ay that only the morphine is used to treat it and we all know thats not true but then you prove your bullshit in this video by showing an injury like that would need much more then some week ass morphine

[luisa111]

[tataxyz123]

how nice they make this DEVIL DRUG sound. Do tons of research prior to use. Docs dont know shit about this drug and they dont know how to get a patient off of it.
