lemme guess. fentanyl?

if so, you're a liar. the generic patches undergo thousands of tests before a doctor ever has one prescribed.

sorry to burst your anecdotal evidence bubble. but you are fabricating things.

FYI generic testing isn't as nearly as extensive as for new drugs. Also fentanyl isn't the only transdermal medication that exists. It's not even the most common. Nicotine, clonidine, birth control and hormone therapy can all be given in patch format.

There are less confrontational, more useful, ways to convey your point than to call people liars.

'Anecdotal evidence bubbles' are fascinating. Try posting links to research about the placebo effect instead of resorting to name calling.
