Avatar n tn interactions between prozac and fentanyl. My husbands meds were recently doubled. Prozac now 40mg and fentanyl 50mcg. and he is now talking in his sleep every night and constantly scratching at himself in his sleep.
Avatar m tn ve been on a series of prescription pain medications for over a decade and am fairly fluent in the basics of these treatments, including interactions and/or withdrawals and interactions with my accompanying benzodiazepines. I have to be, considering these are all respiratory depressants and I suffer from severe sleep apnea (I use a BiPap). I simply want to know a doctor/pharmacists opinion on the proper procedure when switching from this one medication to the other, and then switching back.
1364139 tn?1280791344 I use the fentanyl patch for my neck and back pain and my pain management doctor feels that it is okay for me to continue to wear the patch during surgery (he is an anesthesiologist). I talked to the pharmacist today and he said that I absolutely should take off the patch, and even should take it off a few hours before since the medicine is still in the body and releasing so I don't technically need the patch attached to my skin for the last few hours before the surgery.
1322157 tn?1279656681 , of the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester Medical Center, an expert on drug interactions, explains that grapefruit juice is one of the foods most likely to cause problems with drugs, because it is metabolized by the same enzyme in the liver that breaks down many drugs. The cytochrome P-450 3A4 enzyme breaks down grapefruit juice into useful components for body, just like it breaks down dozens of medications.

Avatar n tn s about rx because she ONLY studied drugs, science, molecules,interactions etc.She suggested a normal dose of Demerol,an oldie but worked for me after c-section.Is Demorol is this a good choice for apastic anemia.My right arm always hurts.I am not funtioning no driving hrd to get a bath,confusion,prepare food only eggc.I DO NOT want to be drugged up ,I just want to be a normal person:take a shower ,go to mall,start painting again.
Avatar f tn ( I just noticed something and am wondering about it. Since I started the Fentanyl patch last week, whenever I take my BT meds (oxycodone), I end up with a headache and sort of long-lasting hot flash. I never felt like this before. Initially I chalked the hot flash up to the humidity here (though I've always been a cold person and never minded the heat. Now I find myself putting the air conditioning on, which I NEVER do.) The headache goes away pretty much if I take 800 mg. ibuprofen.
Avatar f tn i also take hormones and xanax...i read where alot of my meds have interactions...but pharmisits say its ok.............
1264863 tn?1391118193 I'm a mess. I don't know if erythromycin and fentanyl can be taken together. I have been on them together since I switched two weeks ago and TODAY after my wisdom teeth were yanked the pharmasist finally figured out that they are not suppose to be taken together?? Anyone taken them together? And now when I stop the antibiotic will my patches not help me near as much?? My foot is killing me and so is my mouth. I am a mess tonight.
Avatar f tn finally he told me he was going to call in butrans patches for me, i know nothing of this medication, and how well it works to control pain. he aslo never told me if it will have any interactions with my other meds, clonopin, ditropan, norco, and pheneragan........ compared to the percocet will this medication even touch my pain? the only real thing i can find on the internet is that its used to detox addicts from opiates..... why would he prescribe me something like that?
Avatar f tn m wondering if all these meds and high doses could be causing the swelling and lower BP?? New medicines in the past couple of months have been the Fentanyl, 75 mcg., and morphine 30 mg. They switched the morphine out post-op to oxycodone 30 to 45 mg every three hours. (I also take Cymbalta 30 mg. 2 x/day; Clonidine .1mg (which is being given for nerve pain but was originally used, years ago, for high blood pressure.) I take Ambien, 10 mg.
Avatar f tn 5/500 mg Hydrocdone a day. The pain management doctor wants me to use the 25 mcg. fentanyl patch, but my Rhumetalogist seemed to have a strong reaction to this and the pharmacy treated me as if I am a druggie when I went to pick it. I worry about taking medication, but don't know what else to do for the pain. Does anyone out there use Fentanyl? Is it as addictive as they say? Should I worry about the amount of hydrocodone I'm taking. By the way everyone acts, I feel like a druggie...
Avatar m tn Likewise, I was never told to avoid taking anything with my levothyroxine besides food and calcium/multivitamin (basically just not at the same time, but I could still have a multivitamin). I've also never had a problem taking benedryl (besides that it knocks me out) or any other drug with my hypothyroid meds. If you're on a drug for your hypothyroidism, there is this nifty tool at the top- under drugs, you can find drug interaction.
Avatar f tn to be honest with you i would not i waited for a computer fespond for that i would have asked my primary doctor that question since he/she knows your history.
Avatar m tn This morning the pain is still there as is some slight nausea though I was able to eat something. Does anyone know of drug interactions between Anacin and Progesterone? Is there something else it could be?
