exelon

Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
Avatar f tn I've been looking for alternatives to narcotics for pain - specifically in one localized area the dr. has called a "trigger spot" in my shoulder. It becomes a big knotted up muscle under my shoulder blade and gets worse when I'm stressed. I've also been told I have tinitus in that shoulder. ANYWAY, I'm currently tapering on suboxone and really need to find alternatives for this pain.
Avatar n tn It would be helpful if the Exelon Patch advertisers didn't feel it was necessary to have their information on continual scroll. There is a reason why I don't read rolling credits at the end of a movie, too. They usually roll too fast to read and simply hurt my head and can trigger migraines. Most of the time I don't see rolling adds, but when I do, I'm put off. Uh...I did not search for anything that would have had anything to do with this particular advertiser.
488689 tn?1337993158 My doctor went into great detail about that issue.... he is a big poobah in the field, and he loves the Estraderm bio patch. He thinks it is crucial for lots of things, including brain and bone health. He feels the old junk (Premarin) was terrible... and those synthetics are the ones that caused the clotting issues. You'll be OK, Mary and I promise!!! Hey Laney, what kind of wheels??? VarrrrOOOOoommmmm!!!!!! (oh it's ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM like the ad, right?) Mary got a new car too!
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of any alternatives to pain medication? I'm sick of taking pills and I don't like the idea of a pump injecting me with medication. Besides physical therapy what else is there?
Avatar f tn 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.
564735 tn?1263943526 I am currently on 50 mg fentanyl patch and I take hydrocodone (7.5) for breakthrough pain (3 to 4 times a day), but after speaking with my doctor's office today I am getting a new prescription for 75 mg of fentanyl patch and I think another pain med for break through pain...I pick up the prescription tomorrow. I have had 3 chemo treatments of carboplatin and etoposide. I am experiencing three different types of pain...
Avatar m tn when I quit smoking the first time I went 3 days with no smokes then applied te patch for a month and after 2 months I forgot my patch on my way to work and just Forgot about it from then on. but talk to your doctor about quitting smokes and see what options you have, try alternatives out there.
1067212 tn?1353960402 I was on the patch. its really nice because i was like you and forgot to take my pill everyday so the patch once a week was amazing. it didn't feel any different and the good thing with patch vs the pill is that i litterally couldn't feel my body changing at all. i think because it was going right through my skin into my body not into my stomach. the only problems i did have with it was that it made me more moody than im used to.
Avatar n tn Never had a problem until now. He started with temp memory loss and the doctor put him on 2 Exelon Patches per day to help him with the memory loss and also he now on Oxcarbazepine 300 mg. My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this.
Avatar n tn Putting that aside, I feel that you did not give the 25mcg Patch a fair chance. Seeing that the 12mcg patch did nothing then what would possibly make the 25mcg so strong? The side effects can be hard to deal with but if you hang in there, they do go away. The Fentanyl is the only thing that has helped me and getting past the initial month was tough. It has been noted that a person is less likely to abuse Fentanyl and Methadone because of their properties.
Avatar f tn My question is I have heard u can cut some Of it off al pull this glue type substance off the patch. Is this safe? At a small amount of course, not the whole patch. Do I chew the glue or suck on it and for how long? And also swallow when I am finished. I don't want to OD on them I just need a little more pain relief!! Please Help!!
Avatar f tn Do you use shaving cream?
Avatar n tn t understand why the dr wants me to consider alternatives, especially if I am willing to get hyst. I could see making a suggestion of alternatives if I wanted to keep my uterus, but like I said I am done with it and all it does is provide the inconvienience of a period, which is horrible... And now since it is affecting my health and quality of like, why keep it?
