To "Better Off Dead" - you have no idea what that means! My daughter died from an accidental overdose of the
Fentanyl patch in February. She had been prescribed the patch by her pain doctor for neuropathy of the feet. She started with 50 mcg and moved to 100 mcg every 48 hours along with many other drugs like Vicodin. It is a very dangerous and addictive drug and I have had several friends tell me of loved ones who have experienced overdoses and terrible withdrawals from it. Do whatever you can to get off of it slowly and be as strong as you can because it can kill you. I am so sorry for all of you that are "hooked" on it and the suffering you must experience to get off but you must do so. If your doctor does not help you with it, then threaten to report him to the medical board. He's the one that gave you the patch to begin with. The manufacturers have recalled it as you may already know (6 days after my daughter died) because of over 120 deaths. And no you are not better off dead, believe me.
From a very sad mother
