Prescribed Duragesic Patches. Can I Find A Alternative?

i have a real big problem i'm prescribed duragesic patches but every time these pharmacies give me the fentanyl brand (MYLAN) and they don't stay on AT ALL AND CAUSE ME WAY MORE PAIN.... I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE DURAGESIC KIND IS IF THE PRESCRIPTION SAID DURAGESIC AND IT DOES SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY AM I STILL BEING MESSED WITH AND HAVING TO GO THROUGH A LIVING HELL. THESE PHARMACIES SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE ONES THAT I HAVE LOST DO TO THEM FALLING OFF AND NOT FINDING IN TIME TO TRY AND TAPE BACK ON...
