I am on Duragesic DAW 100mcg. I have SEVERE back problems. This is the first med I have ever been on that helped the pain and also lets me enjoy my kids. If people abuse it it is thier fault if they die. Don’t punish us all for a few idiots!

I am using the duragesic patch 50 mg. every 2 days. I have been having a lot of trouble with my breathing lately. What should I do. I’m also a smoker. What are the long term effects? Are there any studies? I’m a little afraid. Shelby

If the mfg could color code the different strengths it would be helpful especially for the elderly
