I am currently taking 40mg oxycontin 3 tds for failed spinal fusion. Have been on same dose for 5 or so years but now they dont help much so I am considering changing to patches. Will I have to come crashing down if I change or will the fentonyl stop the crash during change over?It is a daunting thought to come down as I did trying jernista and couldnt cope with pain also. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Sorry about the pain you're in!

The Fentanyl should prevent any withdrawal effects, because it is actually stronger than the Oxycodone.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
