Fentanyl Patches Generic Sandoz Where?

I'm in Massachusetts and just lost my Blue Cross that was covering the Duragesic Jansen 100 and 25 mg patches. Now I'm on Massachusetts Health and they won't cover the brand name, which compared to the generic is a big difference in the amount of Fentanyl. For example the 100 has 16.8mg of Fentanyl per patch vs the generic only has 10.55 by mylan. The 25 only has 2.4 I believe and the brand name is 4.2. That's a big difference to me when these name brand are barely making my pain tolerable. I've been on the generic before and they are definitely not even close to the brand name. My question is, I found the generic brand Sandoz that has equivalent amount of medicine in each patch but I cant find pharmacies that carry it or that will order it for me. Like I said I'm in Massachusetts on the Rhode Island line. Any suggestions please? I'm due to refill this week. Thank you.

I just came across a couple Fentanyl patches by Mylan Pharmacutals their the 25mcg my question is: Is it o.k. to put a Band-Aid over the patch so it does not come off in the shower? Also can I leave the Band-Aid on or will it affect the way the patch works? I tryed taking the Band-Aid off my last patch and the Fentanyl patch came off with the Band-Aid so I'm basically asking does the Fentanyl patch need air flow for it to work or am I wasting the patch making it not work correctly leavin it on?
Also another question I'm reading that a 25mcg patch really only has or gives out like 12.5mcg of medicine or is that not right? Ant and all answers are greatly appreciated
