For Chronic Pain “I have been on fentora for six months with the fentanyl patch and it does an amazing job.”

For Chronic Pain “Fentora gave me my life back! But it is very hard to get it covered. They do, however, offer a coupon program for those who can’t. Our cost out of pocket was going to be just about $5,000 per month. Insane! Thankfully my pharmacist told me about the coupon program. This brought our co-pay to $5 per month! I have been on Fentora for years now. Probably 5-7 years. I’ve been through 3 insurance companies. I’ve always gotten my Fentora, after long battles. The only negatives to Fentora are: 1) if your mouth is too wet it will dissolve almost instantly and it won’t give you the same help so I try to dry my mouth out first. 2) if you put them in the same spot you will get sores3) hard to cut in half; they disintegrate Otherwise, miracle med”

For Breakthrough Pain “i am on methadone for cauda equina nerve pain, and CRPS/RSD. If it was not for the fentora i would be dead years ago. I needed something to knock out the pain fast, as i have bone on bone/nerves in my lower back , no hardware, 2 emerg lamy’s, nerves entrapped. Opana for breakthrough took too long, i waited as long as i could , 45 min to 60min. Be on floor in a ball with shocks every 6 seconds,and toes and feet sawed off. Body would Jolt . I would take another dose of opana and a couple time i almost woke up dead, in my own excrement. Only complaint i have on Fentora is that it is like a sweet tart, and you’re not suppose to suck on them, . I also have sore in my buccal area now”

For Chronic Pain “This medication is the best for taking the severe pain out of my head. I was told I get cluster headaches and I’m glad to get this medication to help with the intense pain. My Insurance Co. will NOT help cover this so I have to pay all out of pocket. My last employers Insurance company paid most of it with me paying $40.00 out of pocket. “

For Breakthrough Pain “I have a type of neuropathy that basically cripples me. I was taking oxycodone for years but it just made it so I could function. When my doctor prescribed Fentora it was like a miracle. I can live now. Not just get by.”
