I was on Vicoden for over three years, and now am getting good results with a 25 mcg Duragesic patch (change every three days)
and Lyrica, 150 mcg twice daily. This is the most pain free
I have been in recent memory.
I hope that your regimen helps. This is a wonderful forum, and I am sure that there are many others who are going to share their thoughts. All my best to you, and I hope this works for you.
