Common Questions and Answers about Exelon patch treatment drug
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.
Today i heard about the drug Remba, which sounds like a promising antidote, reversing memory loss etc.
Someone in this forum mentioned that we can find this drug on the web.
I have not been succesful in my search.
I know it is either on research stages, or possibly in use in England.
My mom suffers from this lewy body dementia, and i wish there was something more effective out there other than
aricept or exelon...
If anyone knows anything about REMBA, please drop me a line....

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.

New drug is REMBER and it is still on trial from Aberdeen University. We are hoping this new drug can help hundred of thousand sufferers and their families back to normal. It is an awful diseas, it brings my tears to watch my husband going down hill. He was a pilot, he is 73, he had feeling that he was going to have dementia, it is such a shame he is so healthy but his brain is just not functioning as it should be.
Butrans is Subutex or Suboxone, which is normally used of opiate withdrawal and addition recovery. While it's an opioid, it's not like Fentnyl. Just doing a quick google search should answer any questions you have about it. The patch was just released in January so it's really new. The origin drug has only been around since the 80's and Subutex has only been around since 2002.
Drug Withdrawal/Post-Removal Symptoms: Symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and headache occur following abrupt discontinuation of antimuscarinics. Similar symptoms, including disturbances of equilibrium, have been reported in some patients following discontinuation of use of the Transderm Scōp system.These symptoms usually do not appear until 24 hours or more after the patch has been removed.
can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better. I wore the patch for 3 days and then removed the patch again. Within 24 hours became violently ill again. At this time I didn't give much thought to the patch and medication content. So I called the Dr. for more patches. I then reapplied the patch and again began feeling better in a few hours.
The only 7 day patch I know of is the Butrans patch. Buprenorphine (butrans) is Suboxone. It's normally used for addiction recovery but it looks like they're using it in low doses for pain management in the patch. This is what I found on it from Wikipedia.
"Available buprenorphine formulations include a 5, 10 and 20 mcg per hour, 7-day patch, marketed as Butrans in the U.S.A.
I have been on fentanyl patches and oxycodone for about 6 months now. prior i was just on oxycodone ( but a higher daily dose by different dr.). my current dr has increased me from 25 to 100mcg patch over the 6 month period. i was also taking 15 mg oxycodone 3x daily. with the increase in the patch he has decreased my oxycodone.. now i currently take 5mg oxycodone 3x daily. the patch does give me some relief, but the oxycodone seemed to work better.
I have been on the duregesic 75 pain patch for 4 years. also taking occasional vicodin for pain when it gets real bad. I have fibromyaligia, and RA, as well as chronic back pain. How much is too much? I am so afraid of the addictions. you hear so much about prescription drug addition. I am actually looking at some sites today to try to get off these medications, but then what do I do about the horrible pain in my body? am I worried for no reason.
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.
I started with 25 mg every 72 hrs and then went to 25 every 48 hrs. I was getting worse about 4 months into the 25 mg patch and my pain doctor increased me to 50 mg every 48 hrs and told me that my body just got to a tolerance and we needed to go up. About 2 months into being on 50 mg I just couldnt ever figure out why i felt so weird all the time especially the second day after putting a patch on.
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.
The amount of time it takes for the amount of drug in the body to reduce by 50% is called the half-life. It takes approximately five to six half lives for the drug to be cleared from the body. The half-life for fentanyl patches is 9.5 to 12.4 hours. Multiply that by 6 and it could take up to 74.4 hours to clear the drug.You can do the math. Fentanyl lozenges-approx. 7 hours.
Hope this helps.
I am on "the patch" (Duragesic 100mcg/q 3 days) and have been for the past several years. My teeth are bad, I can't get a real job because I can't pass a drug test and what my wife and family have to go through just is horrible. I have 2 good days out of 7 and I am DONE!!!!
The reason I am on the patch has not changed. It is for the "treatment" of pain due to my MS and Spinal Stenosis.
