Like Pete mentioned I had the living crap kicked out of me by week 4 and there is no way I could have either driven or tolerated the pain. By that time I was on 75 mcg of Duragesic and taking morphine for breakthrough pain. You have to get out of this denial thing before you kill yourself or somebody else.
