Team,

It did for me. Keep in mind it takes about 6 to 8 hours to get in your system. I started off with 25mcg and made my way up to 100mcg. I also used morphine sulfate for break through pain. I usually timed a dose of morphine for just about an hour before I ate. After the 2nd week post Tx I started to back down off the duragesic in 25mcg steps. I still take a little morphine for throat/neck/swallowing pain and I'm almost 2 months out of Tx
