Updated

Doctor took me off percocet 10's and put me on 12mcg fentanyl patches. Will this help? I was taking six percocet a day.

The only way to discover whether or not this medication will help you is by trying it, but Fentanyl is stronger than Oxycodone.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Have you start the patches, yet?

I was on 100mcg every 48 hrs of fentanyl for 15 years n it worked great. Then they cut me off cold turkey n I had to buy the patches for 1/2 of how many mcgs they were. I saw a pain management Dr to have him put me back on the patches again. He told me the state of Illinois wouldn't allow him to prescribe the patches so he gave me 180 Percocet a month. I just started by taking 6 and it takes the edge off but not like my fentanyl. 12mcgs is a low dose so I don't know how well they would work for you. If u can get him to give ya 25mcgs it would work a lot better. If you get the patches make sure they r not the reservoir type (that's where the medication is in a liquid form between the plastic). I'd recommend the Sandoz brand first, then Mylan. I got the Sandoz 100mcgs n cut them into 4 squares n take a 1/4 in the morning n about 6 hrs later take another half. It worked great for me. Hope I gave ya sum insight about fentanyl vs Percocet.
