This was one of the opiates my pdoc put me on at first. He wanted to use an opiate that was in a form that didn't require me to take it so often and so he tried the fentanyl patch - 0.25. Didn't do anything for me. I read that there are barely any effects at .25mg and that .5 was usual for most chronic pain patients. However, he would have kept me on it it if it helped as much as the hydrocodone I'm on now helps. Unfortunately there is no long-acting version of hydrocodone so I have to take it 4x daily.

Again- and I'll say this to the day I die: the opioid receptors are vastly overlooked in psychiatry. They have SO much to do with serotonin, NE, and dopamine and our emotion centers within our brains. Psychic pain has a lot in common with physical pain - at least in the brain.
