Avatar n tn J cannot or will not supply information as to where their products are supplied. I called them first and have called all the pharmacies you list plus with negative results - that is why I posted the question.
Avatar f tn My dose of Fentanyl is ..Fentanyl 100mcg change patch every 48 hours. I have been on this dosage for 4 years.. Any thought would be appreciated...
Avatar f tn Is there a chart that I can use to convert fentanyl patch strength to the Opana Er strength?
910419 tn?1289483727 The Fentanyl patch! One of my closest friends is actually on the fentanyl patch. So, I could maybe ask her about this for you... about how to approach this topic with a doctor. I will do that and get back to you on what she says.
635798 tn?1223444631 I am on a 50 Fentanyl patch and have been on it for a year, changing it every other day. Prior to that, I was on a 25 Fentanyl for 4 or 5 years plus took Vicodin for break through pain. I am 55 years old and found out that I was born with Spinal Stenois (passed on at birth through my mother). I also have degenerative joint and disc disease of the spine and under gone two major spine surgeries in the past few years.
706116 tn?1229191877 As far as the condom failures go, they have happened twice with CSW supplied condoms (I know not which brand) and once with ones I supplied, Trojan Magnums. I tend to have very vigorous intercourse with CSW's and that is what I attribute the breakage to. I am careful to never cause injury to my CSW partners, several of whom are regulars, and I never use any oil based lubricants. The only lube I use with a CSW is AstroGlide that I bring to the appointment so I know where it's been.
1326023 tn?1274867436 My current pain management I know is a liar,because for one thing when I asked him about 3 years ago,what 300 milligrams of morphine to take every day is equal to in a fentanyl patch he told me that it would be at least 100 or 110 and that he would have to look it up in his charts to see exactly what it is. when,I last seen him,he showed me me in his computer that being prescribed 300 milligrams of morphine a day is equal to only 75 micrograms of a fentanyl patch.
1931795 tn?1336358887 After a bad accident several years ago i have had to have an almost complete spinal fusion/reconstruction. My name, Huey Right Seater will give you a clue, but if you don't know what a Huey is don't worry about it too much - those who do know understand why I am a bit secretive about this for fear of losing something that I love and make a good living doing.
Avatar n tn ll develop a physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms when you stop using/taking them. How severe they will be will depend on your dosage, and how much tolerance you have to that particular opiate formulation. Many people have just as bad wd's from fentanol as anything else, they just creep up slower because of the long time it takes fentanyl to be used up and out of your body.
Avatar f tn I switched from a RE in Czech Republic who did my IVF and supplied my progesterone- vaginal suppositories, to a local OBGYN who gave me a further prescription for progesterone in the form of prometrium capsules (the little pink 100mg balls). My prescription says to be taken vaginally, but the info leaflet says to be taken orally. Can you take the same capsule either orally or vaginally as a suppository?
3112530 tn?1434032033 I was 150lbs when I started taking Fentanyl for pain issue. Fentanyl caused me to go down to 108lbs and have stopped the Fentanyl almost a year now. Currently 126 but want to go back to my previous weight. Was taking ensure but have lactose tolerant problems. How do I gain back the weight? Trying to eat a lot more pasta that I love but noting happening. Stuck at 126lbs for almost 6 months now. Any advise?
Avatar m tn I need to know how to get my insurance co to pay for 2 claims from last year and allow me to get back on Fentanyl. The code is J3010 for billing purposes.
Avatar f tn 13, 2007). I have been prescribed just about every narcotic pain med there is morphine, dilaudid, fentanyl, percocet, vicodin, etc. For the last few years I've been taking the fentanyl patches (50 mcg) along with percocet (10mg x5/day), back in Nov I started weaning myself off I cut the fentanyl first, then went from 5 percs a day to 5 vics a day, and have stayed there for the last few months. Well last week I decided to try and quit cold turkey, and right now I'm right around day 7.
Avatar n tn I have spina bifida and many other disabilities, and I am beyond scared right now because I have lost insurance and I am down to my last fentanyl patches. While I was on medical leave from my job, they did not pay my premiums and I ended up losing my Kaiser insurance. After my medical leave ended, I was laid off. Because the premium was not paid, I cannot apply for COBRA or HIPP either. Kaiser had me on their MFA plan, but it only lasts for a month.
Avatar f tn Hello Everyone, I'm so happy that this place exists, and I commend you all for your bravery and honesty. I started off taking 5 mg of Vicodin for intense back, neck, hip, ankle pain which occurred out of nowhere in March of '08. Well, Vicodin has always been my weakness, and since the pain continued for months, I worked my way up to Norco 10 mg, 5 times a day.
Avatar f tn I am going to get off the Fentanyl patches and put on Methadone using Suboxone as a bridge .I have never heard of this med called Suboxone.I am on 200mcg of Fentanyl how long will it take to get off the fentanyl?
Avatar f tn I am on Fentanyl 25mcg patches every 3 days I need to get off them for personal reasons. I was in a lot of pain when I started the patches and they do help a lot. I still have pain on them but I refuse to take a higher dose. I do not have a addictive personalty, I have been on them for about 1 years. My son passed way on March 1 2010 for an accidental OD of roxie's and xanax mixed with alcohol he was only 23 years old, he passed away in his sleep. I was the worse day in my life.
Avatar m tn The information supplied is very small. To be honest given the circumstances, I would consider a trip to the ER. They would do an ecg and also blood work and further evaluation. The bp numbers are quit high and the normal guideline is if systolic is over 180 its time for urgent er evaluation.
Avatar n tn The fentanyl should manage your pain much more effectively than the methadone... well I believe it will based on my personal experiences. And I have never taken opana, so I am not sure how much it would help. Good Luck.
897990 tn?1248268956 m not mistaken, this forum is placed here to people to get help and not to find out how to use certain drugs. I could be wrong, but I figured I would pass that along to you.
Avatar m tn Just wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with switching methadone 95mg once daily, to fentanyl patch 100mcg Hour patch? or know the methadone mg fentanyl dose equivalents?
Avatar m tn How can I help someone close to me get through withdrawal from fentanyl and other pain medications. He has bravely informed us of his addictions, the most recent being 50 mcg fentanyl , one a day for 7 days. I realize that this is a pain management forum. However, sometimes it gets in the wrong hands and is abused. This is a young person who is FINALLY seeking help. He already had a "quiet history" of drug and alcohol abuse. Then he hurt his back and the doctor put him on pain meds.
Avatar n tn I have someone close to me that was just just in the hospital and was put on fentanyl, only in the hospital though. I have heard how strong this is and was wondering how bad that would be for an addict, even if it was just one day? I don't know about these drugs much and was wondering how safe it is? I have read it's 80 times more stronger than morphine and that seems crazy.
Avatar m tn No matter how strong something is you will eventually develop tolerance. I was on Fentanyl & came off it myself (not recommended.) Personslly I think it should only be used for end of life pain. It wreaked havoc on my body. Lots of people find when they come off narcotics they are able to manage their pain with less & often with OTC or non- narcotic methods. You may find more help on the pain management forum.
Avatar f tn Phi, as always, is correct about how long it takes the Fentanyl to get into your system. If you are on the patch for 36 hrs and on that 3rd day you feel more pain, son's hesitate to tell your Dr. that because he/she can order it for you for every 48 hrs. I know how frightening it was for you when you were taken off the oxycontin. It's always scarry when we lose the med that we've been on for so long.
