exelon
She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about.
Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause.
Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon.
My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.

She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Recently, she started back on the lower dose of Razadyne. Her neurologist doesn't think the medicine is the cause of the nausea, though it could be aggrivating whatever is causing it.
I feel at such a loss in trying to help my Mother. I've gone back to Neurologist and am awaiting his advise, but he doesn't appear to be emphathetic to this issue. Her GP defers to the neurologist. My 81 yr old Mother in middle to late stage Alzheimer's. She is not on any anti-anxiety med except for Paxil which was prescribed about a month ago. She gets aggitated during the day at times and especially sundowners time.

Thanks to everyone for their patch withdrawal stories. I am on day 2 of using the meclazine to get off this patch. I used it for surgery then when I got sick after taking it of they put another on. If I had not found this site when I got home I would still be retching from taking off the second one. Why don't they tell you this is a possible side effect????? I thought I had the flu, then food poisoning etc.
Will I start feeling less ill as the days go by until the end?
I have been withdrawing over the last 2 months from 3/4 patch to 1/2 of the 25mcg patch, then decided to go cold turkey and just stop 14 days ago. I have had some withdrawal - restless legs, insomnia has been chronic over the whole 6 months, not sure whether that is also due to drugs or other things ( was hit by car and broke neck, had spinal and a couple of fractures in my head - no real head injury problems ...
I was prescribed Suboxone for pain management 1 year ago. I am detoxing right now, in day 8. My new pain Doc has me on 12 mg patch. I have used 2 patches in 5 day. I don't want this patch. I am ready to deal with my physical pain in another manner. So my question, do I need to taper off the patches? Have I been on them long enough for withdrawal?

After a wek of withdrawal he upped me to 25mcg per hour. I have been on it for 6 days ( 2 patch cycles) and am still in full withdrawal. I have an adhesive allergy and altho I'm not breaking out I. Hives or having a visible reaction is it possible that my body is just not absorbing the medication? Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Hi- Yes, I believe you will have some withdrawal. What did you feel like before you put the patch on? Why are you taking it off now? We're you using it to keep the wd's in check?
can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
However, if you were on hydrocodone before the patch for very long, it is possible the patch delayed your overall withdrawal symptoms til now. The Thomas Recipe is readily available online, also keep very hydrated and get your heart rate up daily, even if you can only do arm aerobics, water aerobics, etc.
I woke up this morning and now my bp is 185/110. Can withdrawal of the nitro patch cause high blood pressure, even though I've only been taking it for three days now?
ve been on the patch for a good while and will need to be stopping it abruptly, you are concerned about withdrawal symptoms. This does not mean that you have abused the patch or that you are an addict - it simply means that your body will go through some withdrawal from suddenly not having the medication in your system.
I wish you the best of luck! Please keep me posted on how you're doing.
I hope not because the half life of the patch is days and the injectible is 186 min i think. I am hoping the withdrawal from the injection will be much shorter than from the patch. please let me know if anyone has any onput on this or how the half-life of a drug relates to the withdrawal one can expect when comming off the drug?
I have read the posts on Fentanyl patch withdrawal. While there is much information, none of them clearly state:
How long does the withdrawal last?
It has been 4 days. I was on 75 mg patches for about 6 months and stopped cold turkey 4 days ago. I decided I have to stop, regardless of what the pain specialist says. I want to be off these things.
I have been through several symptoms but have some important things planned this week. I need to travel, I need to be attentive.
Has anyone with scopolamine patch withdrawal just tried to go cold turkey and tough it out? IF so, how long did it take you to feel better?
Krusty, I'm really sorry to hear that your husband overdosed on the fentanyl patch. That must have been extremely frightening for both of you.
I do have to disagree with your strong words of warning about changing the patch every two days. Yes, the manufacturers studied it and the USFDA approved it for 72-hour use. Like any other drug, once it's approved any doctor can prescribe it however he wishes. Take Lupron for example.
Both seemed to calm the awful withdrawal after have been on the patch for a while. Today,I am taking Methadone but will be starting the patches again this weekend. I'm not looking forward to the switch but at least I know what to expect...not that it makes it any easier to switch. Again, good luck and God bless!
If you give buprenorphine to a person who is taking nigh doses of oxycodone, you usually cause withdrawal. I am surprised that you were able to add a buprenorphine patch, while taking oxycodone, without getting withdrawal symptoms.
Depression is very common during opioid withdrawal, and is the worst symptoms for most people. If you became depressed when the buprenorphine patch was started, I would not be surprised.
