Yes - if you request that your doctor enter "Brand Name Only" on your prescription, and ask him to prescribe Duragesic rather than generics, Duragesic boxes come with a $50 coupon that you can use at your pharmacy. You can also download them from their site. It's enough for me as it pays my copay for them every month.
