Common Questions and Answers about Duragesic conversion table

duragesic

Avatar n tn My doctor reduced me to the above dose and its going terribly. The conversion for the fent for that dose is 50 to 75Mcg. My dr said to try changing the patch every 2 instead of every 3. My insurance won’t pay for this non-standard dose. Idk what to do. I’m in constant pain, sweating crazy - i’m in a nightmare.
Avatar n tn t have a crystal ball but discussed switching me into another medication and spoke of the conversion table they use to determine what dose to use. My question is this....those of you out there who used the duragesic patch for long term pain management and was switched out to oral medication, what was your experience like? Folks I have been on this stuff for 4 years (75 mcg/q48hrs), so I am sure the psychological dependency is extremely high.
Avatar n tn All I know is that they will use a conversion chart to do that transition. I asked the PCP what to expect, and she said that I would feel some discomfort for the first couple of weeks but that it wouldn't be bad. She really wasn't convincing though. I have been on 75mcg/q48hrs for 4 years. I am sure that I am very dependent on this stuff. Why all the fear you may ask??
Avatar f tn s a conversion so it turns from a crib, to a toddler bed, to a twin.
Avatar m tn t know where else to put this, but I was recently switched from Morphine 60mg ER to the Fentanyl Duragesic patch. I thought the weird flu like symptoms might be a result of the new drug, but apparently it has to be withdrawal from the Morphine. I'm kind of miffed neither the doctor nor pharmacist even mentioned this could happen. I was naive and thought the new medication wouldn't create an issue with the switch, I was wrong.
3241062 tn?1346895870 I was wondering if anyone has a link to a conversion table for the Erfa Thyroid. I was on 75mcg of Synthroid and my gp started me on 30mg of Thyroid. I tried to tell him that it didn't match my T4 dosage but he wants to wait for the blood work,arrgh. I was feeling great on the 30mg for about a week-what a tease,lol. Now I'm back to where I was before.

Avatar n tn I've been taking the Duragesic 75mcg. hr pain patch for 3 years now, one patch every 48 hours instead of 72 because they only provide me with 48 hours of good pain relief, along with Percocet 10/325 for breakthrough pain for some serious spinal issues. herniated disc, disc fragment impressing upon and displacing the S-1 Nerve root, thoracic herniation at the T-8 and T-9 Level, along with neckpain. I also been diagnosed with multi-level DDD. My question is, my Dr.
Avatar n tn Using damaged or cut DURAGESIC® patches can lead to the rapid release of the contents of the DURAGESIC® patch and absorption of a potentially fatal dose of fentanyl. I once walked in a room as a nurse, found a patient who had taken off his patch and chewed it...he coded and died...there is alot of medication concentrated in the patch to be released over a 24 hour period...not all at once...if you cut them you would have no way of knowing the amount your wife would be absorbing..
Avatar f tn I've been on the Duragesic 100 for almost 18 years. I've had 3 cervical fusions & 1 lumbar laminectomy. The Duragesic 100 has controlled my constant, chronic pain & while I've never been pain free, the Duragesic certainty helped. However in the last 2 months, its as if the patches are no longer working. I've always had additional breakthrough meds, but now its as if I'm going through withdrawals.

Avatar f tn My sister has been diagnosed with conversion disorder. She passes out easily and has a hard time breathing and her body postures why she is unconcious. Is there help for her? Everyone we've seen passes her off and says there is nothing they can do. We need help.
Avatar f tn For instance a women would more likely be in the lower normal range, etc You ask for information regarding personal characteristics, do you have a conversion table that modifies the range based on personal characteristics?
Avatar m tn I have chronic pain from Tarlov Disease and Interstial Cystitis. My pain has been well managed for 2 1/2 years using tramadol (ultram) for maintenance and lortab for break through pain. I have developed chronic kidney disease and my doctors are pushing me to get some exercise. I have found that with every exercise form I have tried I quickly get beyond the pain control offered bu tramadol and lortab so i can't exercise.
Avatar n tn I have been on the Duragesic Patch 74 mcg for about 3 1/2 years. During the last 6 months, I have become extremely depressed. I notice that it is worse after the second day any given patch is on. I have been treated for the depression with different antidepressants and so far have not found one that works. I am so desperate for help as the depression has taken over my life. Has anyone out there experienced this? Any input would be appreciated. I feel as though I am running out of time.
Avatar f tn m not a doctor), but I would think that if you are on duragesic (the most powerful painkiller on the planet), you don't have to take the solpadeine, and, if the amitriptyline is just to help you sleep, you probably don't need it, either, if you find the duragesic to be sedating. And in fact, you might not need the lyrica. Of course, that's assuming you are getting them all from one doctor. If you have more than one doctor, make sure they *all* know what you are taking.
Avatar m tn there had me on a medication called Temgesic. When I came back to usa I went on Duragesic Patch after a year or so.. I think this Temgesic is the detox meds you guys are talking about. I have a old box here and they were 2mg sublingal. Its buprenorfina (sp).. Brand as I say was Temgesic. Its a great medication for pain and I can never remember having the side effect of it that I have with this patch. I can't wait for the day I have none of this medication in my body.
1003723 tn?1306252350 We also would like a nursery set that has the crib, changing table, dresser, and convertable kits in the exact same color, so that we don't have to go all over searching for the items. So if you ladies know any information on these cribs, or even used any of these cribs, please tell me what you think about them, thank you all =0) 1.
