[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 636770, member: 1233"] I am so glad they help you. I am constantly surprised that doctors don't rx at least the patches to more people. in my opinion the company is hugely missing out on several potential markets for these. My daughter ends up with sprains and torn ligaments from her frequent falls due to the epilepsy. Each time the doctor (whatever doctor either at ER or urgent care or her reg doctor) trots out the rx for hydro or oxy codone or even straight codeine or morphine. Not one time have they rx'd patches with-o us asking, and she would far prefer the patches. each time the doctor is surprised at the suggestion but happy to give the rx, esp once the realization that we would prefer the patches instead of rather than in addition to the other medications. I think that a LOT of people could be helped and a whole lot of pain medications could be avoided by using patches. But no marketing is done for them for this use or many others. Given the addiction issues, I would think they would be all over this, esp given the lectures the docs give each time they give the pain medication rxs. I am so glad these are helping you, and I hope they continue to help. FYI, the patches are available in generic now which greatly reduces the price. [/QUOTE]
