Common Questions and Answers about Fentanyl blood pressure

My question is about managing the withdrawal symptoms - what are some specific things I can do to help manage 1) high blood pressure, 2) high heart rate, 3) pain, pain everywhere, 4) restlessness, 5) getting some sleep. All kooky suggestions welcomed - I am hydrated, I'm taking hot baths, I'm cycling on a trainer for 20-minute stints every day, I'm eating well, I'm taking my vitamins, and you know, being sensible, but OUCH. Thanks for your help.
We had to take my mother-in-law to the ER because her blood pressure was very low. When we arrived and they saw the Fentanyl Patch, the first thing they assumed was overdose. They did a tox screen and found no opiates in her system. The patch had been replaced approximately 24 hours prior. She has been on the Fentanyl Patch (100 mcg) for about 3 years and uses a tegaderm patch over it to hold it in place. It was on her stomach.
MY DOCTOR INCREASED THE PATCH TO 75MG, I HAD IT ON FOR WEEK . THEN ALL OF SUDDEN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY, MY BLOOD PRESSURE WENT TO 104/105 IN THE DOCTORS OFFICE AND HE DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. SO!! MY LIFE TO ME WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A DRUG. MY LIFE I HAD TO TAKE CONTROL OF. I FOUND COURAGE FROM , GOD FIRST! THEN MY FAMILY. I SPENT A WEEK WITHDRAWLING FROM THE HELL OF THAT DRUG AND NOW AFTER 8 DAYS I STILL TRYING TO FIND SOME STRENGTH .
Not to sound rude but if you can just get off all your pain meds because you are pregnant, than you must not be in enough pain to be on them when not pregnant!
He actually got angry and walked out of the room,called in 90 tramadol 50mg and .02 clonidine blood pressure patches.Tomorrow is the last day of my patch. Am I going to be okay? Does anyone know what can happen. I haven't abused my meds but have real chronic pain. I have no Insurance...what in the world will I do?
) He gave me Clonidine, which works for most people to help with the jitters, restless legs and creepy crawlies, but it brought my blood pressure down too low. So, I took a half dose to help my wds without bringing down my b/p too much. My doctor wants me to STAY on my Darvocet...three times a day and my Clonazepam at bedtime. He didn't take me off either of those during my Fentanyl detox. I have been off of Fentanyl 7 days 14 1/2 hours! The wds are gone...
she suggested no rehab she wrote me three scripts imodium for diareaha, a blood pressure pill that dont do **** and i already have low blood pressure and wants me to take 30 mg of oxycodone a day in place of hydrocodone 40 mg a day and 50 mcg of fentanyl every 48 hours. i feel like **** and my pain is getting worse every day not bettter. i am haveing a hard time not giveing up.
ave me a script for clonidine(used to lower blood pressure) I was hesident to do this because my blood pressure runs low(100/60).I really want to get off this medicine. I do take Dilaudid 4to 6mg. twice a day due to DDD,fibro.had knee replacement and suffer from chronic pain.I want this process to end because I am very anxious to get rid of this Fentanyl. I know I have to o this taper slow,because that is the best way.
I am a single mom of 4 kids plus an elderly dad to take care of. In addition, I have several underlying health issues (high blood pressure, fibormyalgia, anxiety, a slight heart problem) so cold turkey isn't the way for me to go. But I've just been thinking that maybe since I'm not physically addicted to morphine I could just stop??
Or does it matter ... a narcotic, is a narcotic, is a narcotic??? Thanks for any hep you can shed on this.
t take these if you are on any kind of antidepressant without talking to a doctor, they can cause a spike in blood pressure or something like that if you mix them with a prescription anti depressant). The L-theanine is a natural valium of sorts..it's helped me so much that i don't need xanax anymore, but everyone is different, hopefully it will help you.
I did/do explain, from the beginning of the patch use, I experienced discomfort with anxiety, rocking, restlessness towards the end of the 72 hours, not so much pain. I was given a blood pressure med, or anxiety meds to aleviate symtoms - which I was reluctant to use. So then they put me on 100mcg, that was down from 125, every 48 hours - but still i can't seem to think straight or concentrate.
My dr, gave me clonidine for the restless leg syndrome but this med has a tendency to lower your blood pressure. I did not take this because my baseline pressure is 100/60.I will let you know how I make out with my next appointment. It sure feels good to have friends on this site. Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and new year. Hope everything is doing well with you.
what were the side effects you experienced? This Doctor didn't mention ANYTHING!, even though he knew my heart history, high blood pressure, and they didn't work before, but I can't remember the details, so he just insisted to use MORE and that was THAT! Did they make you sleepy?, I know they didn't help my pain before but that's all I can remember,(they stopped them within 2 months,nI DO remember that!
I find clonidine is a big help, it is an old blood pressure medication but helps temper the surge of epinephrine that you get while detoxing and is responsible for many of the nasty symptoms. Also, I have found some help in amino acids and other supplements . Many others on here know more than I do, but I am taking quite a few including Emergen c, tyrosine, theanine, Lysine , calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. I would be happy to tell you more if you are interested.
What OTHER meds are you talking. I take 16 other meds BUT they have to do with heart, BLood Pressure, etc. NOTHING to do with pain or Stress or ANYTHING like that. I just wonder of you are taking any other type of meds at all. Whether that might have something to do with it. There's also the chance that maybe it's a little too strong and that is affecting it in some way. HEAT plays a HUGE part with the Fentanyl as you saw in my post last week.
I'm a chronic pain patient and have been on the fentanyl patch for over 5 years. I am currently tapering off at my own request. All I can tell you is what my doctor told me and my own experience with tapering fentanyl.
A couple years ago I asked to drop from 75 to 50 mcg never imagining what was in store for me. Within two days I was a barfing, leg-kicking, insomniac mess. Hot showers/ baths helped tremendously for the worst of it.
