Wow, I had no idea. However, I'm kind of glad now that I successfully weaned myself off them. However, I'm also grateful that at my worst, they did help control the pain in going through treatment. Back in those days, I thought they were pretty harmless looking and didn't really notice too much of a difference in how I felt... that was until I forgot to put another one on after taking a shower... then it was "OH MY goodness, I forgot to put on a fresh patch!"

When they upped my dosage to 100's I only tried one 100 patch and noticed that I was getting too loopy for my own good. Maybe I was too much of a lightweight for it, but the strongest I could ever tolerate was the 75. At the end, it was relatively easy for me to jump off the 50.

It's a wise thing to post this information here. I, for one, learned something.
