Geo,
The name of that patch I was talking about for pain was called a Fentanyl Patch. It comes in different doses. At one point I was on 50 mcg patches and when I was weening myself off of them I was down to 12.5 mcg. I wore the patches and when the pain got out of hand I would take the oxycodone or percocet.
