Walmart Brand Fentanyl Patch

Does anyone know what brand of the fentanyl patch 100mcg that Wal-Mart carries now? I know that they had only carried the one brand that was recalled with the gel, which was because people were overdosing on it causing death. After reading up on this there were people who were misusing, abusing the patches, digesting the gel or smoking it, which made it bad for those who depended on this certain patch for their pain relief, I used to use the patch for my excruciating constant pain and it was great only Medicare would no longer pay for it switching me to the generic fentanyl patch which only works half as good as the recalled patches. People in the US seem to abuse prescription meds a lot and those who depend on the meds have to suffer when they're then recalled. If anyone knows what type of fentanyl patch Wal-Mart carries please respond. I'm having to switch pharmacies because they've switched cheaper generic pain meds and don't work for me and I've been suffering lately, those who live with constant excruciating pain would understand. Thanks.

It can vary depending on the area you live in, so if I check with a Wal-Mart where I live, a store where you live may not carry the same one. Can you post back with some more specific information, even just a general idea of your location? That would enable someone to possibly help with your question?

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

Can anyone else chime in?
