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 Oral 24-hour Morphine (mg/day) Fentanyl Patch (mcg/hr) 225 to 314 mg/day 75 mcg/hr However, this is just a calculation based on the limited medical information I was presented. Since I do not have your liver and kidney status, it will be difficult for me to recommend the exact dosing regimen. Please consult your provider using this as a guideline. 2. If you are on Opana ER 30mg, why are you still taking Dilaudid?
Avatar f tn I forgot to take off my nitroi patch last night What should I do This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/252428'>Nitro Patch</a>.
Avatar n tn I have opted for the patches and have been given Evorol 50. Is the patch Ok when swimming, bathing etc, i am worried now I will forget to change it on the correct days, or it will fall off, i do quite a bit of swimming and running. Has anyone had any side effects. I really dont want to go putting weight on. My skin 5 days after surgery is like I am 14 again, its awful and pretty embarrassing, I am hoping this is a temporary thing!
Avatar n tn My GP started me on 50 mcg of levothyroxine. I also take tramadol and fentanyl patch for chronic pain, and oramorph occasionally for breakthrough pain. Since I started levothyroxine, I went immediately from being cold all the time, to perspiring profusely. My blood pressure has shot up, and is around the 190/100 mark or thereabouts. I have horrible;le tinnitus, and my chest aches, and generally I feel weird. Is it possible my dose is too high for starters.
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 was on 50mcg for 5 months with no break through meds, then when down to 25mcg with no break through meds for a couple weeks before I switched doctors..today I put on 12mg patch and have 4 a day 15mg of Oxy ir to take for break through pain. I've been getting more achy every day. The Oxi ir makes me itch & I don't feel any better with it. Seems Norco 10/325 worked the best before I ever started the patch. The patches are a nightmare to find & fill every month.
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.
Avatar f tn Is there a chart that I can use to convert fentanyl patch strength to the Opana Er strength?
380558 tn?1309042387 1mg, however the withdrawls were so intense that I was going CRAZY STILL, even after that first patch.. therefore, I put the second one on.. the anxiety keeps coming and going like MAD! I can't wait until this is finally over with! NEVER AGAIN!
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.
1999001 tn?1327335443 I am 42 years old. Had total hysterectomy in 2010. I am on Vivelle patch, went from 0.075 to 0.05mg in the last six months. I am always tired. My Vitamin D was low last year, so now on 2,400 units of Vitamin D and my most recent level although "within" range seems low to me---30.7. I was already overweight and have gained another 20 pounds since surgery. Libido does not exist. I am down a lot and my concentration/focus is getting worse. Anyone else have or had this experience?
Avatar m tn m sorry that you are having problems with your pain. I KNOW that there is NOTHING stronger than the Fentanyl Patch. A 25 mcg Fentanyl Patch is a VERY low amount. If you are to try a higher dose it MIGHT give you the relief that you need. :) We REALLY aren't qualified for give you dosing advice. You RALLY need to discuss this with your Doctor.
Avatar f tn But if you miss changing a patch at a certain time or feel you have any change in dosing or need to have a change, please do so only with strict direction from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Call your local pharmacist. We at MedHelp are not allowed to give out dosing instructions. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you exactly how to dose the medications. If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.
