"The patch seems to be helping.  I was given the 10mg and think that my doctor is going to bump it up to 20mg as I still need to take about 6-8 10mg Norco during the day and night also.  I am hoping to up the patch dose and lessen the Norco dose.  I haven't had any side effects from the patch, not one thing.  They stay in place for the full 7 days and are very easy to use.  The only real down side is the cost, even with a $40 coupon from my doctor it cost $50 for 4 patches.  I will try the 20 mg and see if the $50 a month is worth it."
