Fentanyl

I Have been on fentanyl patch for 3 yrs now, which has stopped my use of any pills, use the 3 day patch every other day, to keep it stable. I moved and went to a clinic where they changed me from the Sandoz brand to Mylan. The patch is nowhere as strong, takes 2 days to start working, the patch falls off soon as you sweat or take a bath. it is very Dangerous for anyone who has kids or pets if they should fall off without you knowing, which happens easy. The drug should not be allowed on the market. I told my concerns to the clinic, yet they said thats what they’re giving now, because its cheaper! So much for the best to their patients! And on the phone when you call them, it says only the best … , What a laugh!!!
