Need advice about pain medication patches
Posted , 5 users are following.
After greatfully reading the horrors of the withdrawals of Fentanyl patches, could someone please tell me what other pain relief comes in a patch? Im currently on Hydrocodone pills and am seeing a pain mngmt dr for the 1st time next week to discuss a patch instead as i need continuouse pain relief. (Severe neck problems). When the dr suggests Fentanyl Id like to be educated on what else I may suggest. Is there one that DOESNT have the HORRIBLE withdrawals as Fentanyl? Also i might add, its got to be comparable for pain relief, as Fentanyl, altho Iv never tryed it, OR a patch. ANY advice is greatly appreciated! My only alternative, as I see it, is to just stay with Hydrocodones. Im on 4 a day, 10mg each. But with the new law my GP has bumped me down from 4 a day, to 3 a day and I am in terrible pain 24/7, cant lie down in bed to sleep without pain, since my neck is my problem. Help!!!

Hello :
I can help u out my dear
OK a little about my self I've been on the patch for over 15 yrs
with major ups and downs what u can expect from the patch is 95%
Of ur pain gone the patch does not last 72hrs most times it will
only last 48hrs and the doctors know this yes you will have break through pain you will still hurt but no were near what u have
been going through depending on how much u weight is
depending on what dose ur doc will start you with and to be true
fully to you ..you need to know yes the withdraws are terable
The Sandoz patch is the best patch out there by far
If ur a heavy sweater talk to ur doc bc u will sweat like crazy on
the patch but u will be out of pain and there comes a time were
you
will do anything to get out of pain this much I know
first hand also you need to know this if ur does is short at the
eND of the month get in to see ur doc asap bc that's when you
will find out about the with draws ..you need to talk to a Sergion
asap to see if there is anything he or she can do to help as well
Also you can have a beer life with the patch but when ur ready to come off of it please talk to ur doc so u can go slowly
it will talk 6 months to a yr to come off of it fully
and please stay ways from meth it's worse then fental
All the best I hopped I helped
BOOM

Hey kimmi I just want to let you know that the fentanyl is probably your best bet for pain relief and as long as you don't start abusing it you shouldn't have to worry about the withdralls because I never had any withdrawals when I first started using it till I started chewing up the patches then I had problems it is highly addictive and I am an addict so that's why I have these problems but it's a Muriel's drug for anybody in terrible pain I know someone who wouldn't even be able to get up and get moving if it weren't for the fentanyl so it does work for people and also there are such thing as morphine patches but I think fentanyl is the best thing for anybody in severe pain

Hello
There's a lot about the patch most people don't know unless u have been on it for longer then 10 yrs up and down for really bad croinc pain and when pills bugger put ur tummy most people don't have much of a choice there are other things but the
patch does work well but it has its horrible draw backs as all
heavy pain meds do ,the problem is not that ur on the patch
it's when everyone thinks there a doc and ending up scaring the hell out of people with the w/ds croinc pain is very different
from any other kind of pain
once the problem is fixed and ur body will tell u when it's
had enough and yes u will need to be under a doc that is
willing to help u come off of the patch it can take up to a yr
and even then you can come off of it but if ur body is still
in extream pain it will be very hard to come off of that the part
that most people don't get if u still hurt it's not that the with
draws won't be bad yes they will be terable
I ready have never understood why people want to get high
from pain meds bc with my pain it's been horrible over 60 knee
Operions and pins and needing 2 new knees and a hip so ya I
have a very good idea what rotten pain is if anyone abuses the patch or any heavy pain meds ya they will have huge problems
but if they take it like there docs tell them to then there should not be a problem I know what ur thinking ya right
but when it's time to come off of heavy pain meds theres
2 ways one cold turkey stuiped or with a docs help
Cheers

Oh just to give a heads up the fental patch u can take for 15 days with out any really bad problems with break through pain meds
of corse and if u deside it's not for u stop taking it before 15 days
Bc after then ur body will need it for ur horrible pain the docs
know this and so do the people that make it .it was designed for gun shot woonds in the army for fast pain relief instead of a
Morphine shot also was not ever mentioned for long term pain
