> I used the 5mg Duragesic patch for a short while to ease fibromyalgia pain -- I wasn't at all impressed with it to tell you the truth. I put one patch on and waited 24 hours, felt no relief, and so added on an extra patch. The next day I felt some negligible pain relief, but no CNS effects at all. It wasn't until I actually chewed up one of the patches (out of frustration) that it really worked for my pain -- and this of course would be a fatal overdose for many people! I just kept nodding off in between periods of being somewhat alert and pain-free, but certainly not euphoric or anything. I've felt the same effect taking 10 *Darvon* capsules, if that tells you anything. I find this stuff to be very highly overrated (both for pain and for recreation).

I'm on the 25mcg patch and I feel nothing. It's supposed to be super potent - but I feel nothing. Perhaps a slight reduction in anxiety - but nothing for mood. Ithink it actually gives me a headache!?

I'll keeep you all posted.....
