Yes I get 10 a month and switch the patch out every 3 days. on the 3rd day i don't really feel any relief though, do you have the same problem?
I get 2 full days out.. by the third day its definitely wearing off.
I also think that they are your patches and as an adult should be able to ask what can be done recreational without having to worry about someone calling you a moron.. If you're not careful you can hurt yourself.. period.. You're a big kid.. know the limit your body can take.. end of story.. If the info is out there get it.. try it if you want.. find what works for you. I take the 25mcg gel patches.. But I also get a lot of other meds for breakthrough pain and just have an awesome Dr. who knows what pain I am in because he has experienced it first hand himself and has told me that when or If I need to up to a 50 just tell him. I don't plan to abuse his kindness so I make the 25mcgs work for me.. for now. I get OP 20s from him too.. Also my surgeon has me on good stuff too.
Honestly the first time I chewed a patch I was higher then I had ever been in my whole life.. no joke. It was almost scary. So be really careful IF you do decide to do something like that. That being said.. I hope you find some relief and stay safe

I want to add too that I work also BUT my job is not active labor.. I have my own business so all I am required to do for about 4/6 hours a day is talk on the phone and email.. that's pretty much my whole job. lol
