For Breakthrough Pain "I have MS, and one of my symptoms is severe pain with muscle spasms. It gets so bad as to completely debilitate me, where I am unable to stand, sit for long periods of time, and walk up or down stairs. This medication is life-saving for me. It has allowed me to return my functioning so that I am mobile again. I can walk up stairs, work out for short periods of time, and live a fairly functional life where I can go to the store, walk around, and attend family functions."

For Breakthrough Pain "I'm in the same situation, my insurance stopped paying for Fentora. Their response is that Fentora is used only for cancer patients. If there are more people in this situation, please write. RSD is a terrible illness, in my opinion."

For Breakthrough Pain "I have a type of neuropathy that basically cripples me. I was taking oxycodone for years, but it just made it so I could function. When my doctor prescribed Fentora, it was like a miracle. I can live now, not just get by."

For Breakthrough Pain "I have used Fentora for breakthrough pain due to RSD, which is a nerve disorder. The medication, when I can take it, makes a huge difference in my daily routine. Unfortunately, the last 2 years, my current insurance will not pay for it, so my family has been paying for it. Initially, we paid $4,000.00/month, which quickly became impossible. I am currently taking 1/4 of my daily dose I should be on. Needless to say, my daily routine now causes me to spend a lot of time in bed, pain, and nonproductive."

For Chronic Pain "Fentora gave me my life back! But it is very hard to get it covered. They do, however, offer a coupon program for those who can't. Our cost out of pocket was going to be just about $5,000 per month. Insane! Thankfully, my pharmacist told me about the coupon program. This brought our co-pay to $5 per month! I have been on Fentora for years now. Probably 5-7 years. I've been through 3 insurance companies. I've always gotten my Fentora after long battles. The only negatives to Fentora are: 1) if your mouth is too wet, it will dissolve almost instantly, and it won't give you the same help, so I try to dry my mouth out first. 2) if you put them in the same spot, you will get sores. 3) hard to cut in half; they disintegrate. Otherwise, miracle med."

For Breakthrough Pain "I am tremendously grateful for Fentora and the people who make this med possible: the manufacturer, my pain physician, and my pharmacist. I continue to battle esophageal cancer, have had a full esophagectomy and a thoracotomy on each side. This drug works within 2 minutes, doesn’t present any side effects, and allows me to complete many tasks I couldn’t do without this medication. The cost is outrageous; however, Medicare and USPF provide an unbelievable level of support to me financially!"

For Chronic Pain "This medication is the best for taking the severe pain out of my head. I was told I get cluster headaches, and I'm glad to get this medication to help with the intense pain. My insurance company will not help cover this, so I have to pay all out of pocket. My last employer's insurance company paid most of it, with me paying $40.00 out of pocket."

For Pain "My husband finds great relief with this for his breakthrough pain. Very fast-acting, but relief only lasts about an hour. He needs more than one of these for use a day, but since the DEA has declared war on pain management doctors, he is only given one dose per day. His quality of life would greatly improve if he were allowed to have more for his breakthrough pain."

For Pain "Fentora, like Actiq, is a very fast-acting pain medicine that starts providing relief within minutes. One of the advantages of Fentora tablets is that it quickly dissolves in your mouth, unlike Actiq, which is large and noticeable."

For Pain "I was having a bad time with kidney stones and found this to work the best for severe breakthrough pain. I take OxyContin and Roxycodone for my back pain and have tried just about all the opiates, but this by far works the best for me."

For Breakthrough Pain "I am on methadone for cauda equina nerve pain and CRPS/RSD. If it was not for the Fentora, I would be dead years ago. I needed something to knock out the pain fast, as I have bone-on-bone/nerves in my lower back, no hardware, 2 emergency lamies, nerves entrapped. Opana for breakthrough took too long, I waited as long as I could, 45 min to 60 min. Be on the floor in a ball with shocks every 6 seconds and toes and feet sawed off. Body would jolt. I would take another dose of Opana, and a couple of times I almost woke up dead in my own excrement. The only complaint I have on Fentora is that it is like a sweet tart, and you're not supposed to suck on them. I also have sore areas in my buccal area now."

For Pain "Very good drug. Good response to severe pain, it has kept me out of the ER and/or hospital numerous times due to it being so effective."
