I have been on these patches for two weeks. I change them every 72 hrs which means I have used 4 patches. I have severe and chronic back pain w degenerative discs. After reading all the bad stuff about them I don't know if I want to continue. I also have oxycodone for breakthrough pain. My question is/ after only 4 patches am I already addicted to them? How bad will my withdrawal be if I stop cold turkey today? I am suppose to put on a new patch today.
