in Oct. for pain related to a hysterectomy. It stoped the headaches also. But when I went off the patch the headaches where horrible for the first week off the fentyl. Almost like a rebound on top of the ch. I had mentioned trying it with my dr. but he said that kind of strong pain medicine should only be reserved for people in severe pain like cancer patients. I about started crying and wanted to choke him on the spot but I was afraid that any outburst would or could be misunderstood as drug seeking behaviour and didn't want to be labled as that out of fear that he wouldn't give me the percacet and other stuff he does give me. If anyone can convince there dr. to let them use the patch I say all the power to them! It may help.
