type brand, which is an generic, a 50mcg
patch for the normal 72 hour change-over will
cost you approx. $ 200. I think if cost is the factor that it is for us all, Dilaudid would be the least expensive, and hopefully have a better effect than the med's you are on. Oh, and YES, get yourself another Doctor, if this "new guy" dosn't work out. We should never EVER, feel that we have to fight someone, to get pain relief...
