Avatar m tn I was telling her that effectiveness was failing after 48 hrs. She had do the urine test and it showed no narcotics in my system. I was wearing a patch that I had put on the previous morning, replacing the patch I had worn for 72 hrs. Any ideas or has anyone else had a similar experience?
Avatar n tn DURAGESIC® patches are intended for transdermal use (on intact skin) only. 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...
Avatar m tn Fentynal (duragesic) patch is in fact pushing opiates into your system through you skin. I have personal knowledge that this transdermal entry does not affect me as an intravenous shot because its a hot shot not delivered over several hours and virtually non-invasive. Make sure you have an epipen in case you have a reaction. Opiates are not all created equal and neither are patches.
431814 tn?1205846947 The DURAGESIC® (fentanyl transdermal system) CII patch is a strong prescription pain medication for moderate to severe chronic pain that can provide long-lasting relief from persistent pain. Through its innovative patch technology, DURAGESIC delivers fentanyl, an opioid pain medication, into the body slowly through the skin, where it works to relieve pain for up to 3 days (72 hours). DURAGESIC is strong medicine for serious pain.
Avatar f tn Also make sure to take note of oral magnesium replacement and transdermal Mg at the same time. Oral Mg takes 6 to 12 months before it would build up enough in your system, while transdermal Mg will work instantly but you have to spray it on frequently. I got used to it. I use both but oral replacement is much simpler eventually. I have put my whole household, friends and family on Mg supplementation. You probably will end up doing the same once you do your research.

Avatar f tn I found this, not sure of the accuracy of the whole article, but copied it for you. I've never used the patches, but this seems like very good info. Perhaps someone else can comment on the accuracy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The recommended procedure is to clean the area with water and then apply the patch. However, for anyone who has used Fentanyl Generics or Duragesic, we know that's ridiculous.
1961084 tn?1325279027 Transdermal Magnesium Chloride, Transdermal Aloe Vera leaf gel, Sublingual or IV Methylocobalamin, sublingual emulsified D3 drops and Transdermal Glutathione ( glutathione transdermal anhydrous cream 50g 20% Glutathione -reduced- in 40grams of lipoderm anhydrous base, so you have 10grams of glutathione in the cream. See an old fashioned Pharmacist to make you this) Also you have a Light, and this led me to see other things. You must pay attention to different signs around you.

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 The information available says one should be instructed not to discontinue therapy without consulting their physician because sudden stopping has, in some cases, resulted in symptoms such as nervousness, agitation, headache, and confusion accompanied or followed by a rapid rise in blood pressure and elevated catecholamine concentrations in the plasma.

Avatar n tn I have been on duragesic patches for 6 months now 50 mg every 48 hours and i take a lot of hot baths. 7 - 8 per day and while the patch is on my chest area. I always seem to feel like killing myself and hate the way I feel. I don't quite no the feeling other than I feel like everything is in slow motion, I feel like I can't be still. legs are always twitching, and feel totally meserable.
358304 tn?1409709492 I came up with something interesting... TRANSDERMAL MAGNESIUM . It says that anxiety and panic are caused my lack of magnesium and other minerals and nutrients. We eat so much **** this day in age... even if it seems healthy, foods are processed... and lack so many nutrients and minerals. Do you think this could be true? I'm thinking about giving it a shot... and coming off my lexapro... if it doesnt work I'll go back on the lexapro. I've only been taking lexapro for 2weeks now.
Avatar m tn my fent patches took up to 12 hrs to get going and rarely lasted past 2 days. so would get an effective 1.5 days out of a 3 day patch. The remaining time was spent in a constantly recurring withdrawal phase ... worse possible situation. My doctors will never give me a patch again.

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.
7649183 tn?1393014236 Menostar (estradiol transdermal system) 14 mcg per day - each 3.25 cm2 system contains 1 mg of estradiol. Vivelle-Dot® (estradiol transdermal system), 0.025 mg/day - each 2.5 cm² system contains 0.39 mg of estradiol USP for nominal* delivery of 0.025 mg of estradiol per day. Since the Menostar patch is applied once/weekly and contains 1 mg of estradiol, then that's around .14 mg/day (the data says .014 mg/day). The Vivelle-dot is applied twice/weekly and contains .
988694 tn?1332359479 There is transdermal (through the skin) magnesium. Not sure how this will go if you develop hives easily. You could try testing before buying. I bought Ancient Minerals transdermal (through the skin) oil at my local health food store. I found it stings a bit sometimes so i splash a bit of water onto the area and it's fine. The Ancient Minerals "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy" and "Magnesium Application and Use" articles are very informative.
Avatar f tn Yes, you will still experience withdrawals until the Fentanyl has a chance to absorb into your system....Most likely they gave you transdermal patches and they absorb through the skin.... This all depends what you want to do.....If you TRULY want to get off of narcotic pain relievers then throw them away! The longer you go on with this stuff the harder it will be to detox....I hope that you can come clean with your doctors and get the help you need to get sober....Good luck and God bless!

Avatar m tn The drug is int he stick so if the stick has gone then nothing is going I to the system. Putting tape on can just keep the stick from being worn away such as through clothing. You need to keep wearing it so that the level of drug stays stable in your system, if you take them on and off it will simply cause more problems in the long term. It can take days for you to build up the correct level not hours and you really need to make sure you listen to and take advice of your doctor.
