I am coming off Vicodin 500 mg a day for 4 months (about 8 - 10 pills/day) and am noticing emotional issues more so than anything else. I've never done the patch - thus, can't advise you - but can tell you that I admire your guts and strength to overcome "ALL' of what you've been through.
God Bless,

I just got done doing a long taper off of fentanyl pain patches. Is that the kind of patch you're talking about?? I should never have been on them, but there is a place for them when a patient is in severe chronic pain. You start to feel the patch work in 8-17 hours. The mcg is the amount that is going into your system per hour.
I was put on them for post op pain and that was wrong. They're addictive and it took me a long time to get off of them. I don't have pain. Be sure you read all the do's and don't's in the papers that come with it from the pharmacy.
Keep posting.....LS
