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 f tn t wait hours for it to kick in you can put a heating pad on the fentanyl patch, the heat releases the fentanyl from the patch alot quicker, there for reducing the waiting period substantialy. Also..normally you will change the patch every 72 hrs, but at the end of 48 hrs you can put another patch on, and remove the old patch as directed, usually after 72 hrs. This will keep a continous level of fentanyl in your system, and according to my experience and my Dr. it is safe to do.
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.
633961 tn?1222615789 And mixing hydrocodone with Tramadol can make you sick feeling and throw up, depending on the person. I have read once not to mix the two. But any Tramadol addict like myself would give you the same advise. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I used to be on OxyContin like 15 yrs ago, I got weaned off of the oxy too on the patch, I had no with drawls from the oxy, my dr. Slowly weaned me, no problem at all. This time, I'm going straight to the oxy from the patch, actually tonight I'm suppose to take my patch off and take my first oxy pill in the morning. Will I be feeling any with drawl? I also take Ativan 1mg. 3xday been on that for 25 yrs. also on phenergan 12mg. 3xday. I'm getting nervous!
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.
Avatar f tn I would need you to tell me the location of the patch, when and how it started, history of bites, drug allergy, medications, other symptoms associated with it like pain, itching, swelling, lump, consistency, fluid discharge etc for a comment.
559187 tn?1330782856 t do it as part of the LP procedure, I asked the doctor the same question and he said that doing a blood patch in the first 24 hours after the procedure does not work or is much less effective or something to that nature. Kathy - Tell me girl, how did you sneak access to the doctor's direct line? You are so resourceful. I like that idea. Buried - Wow 10 days. I would probably pull all my hair out by then. You are such a trooper to wait 10 days. Thanks you guys.
Avatar n tn The scrolling in ads is a legal requirement imposed by the FDA on pharmaceutical companies that advertise online. I'm sure the Exelon Patch advertisers would like to leave out these long disclaimers as much as you'd like to not see them, but unfortunately, this is how advertising works in the pharmaceutical industry.
Avatar f tn My husband's PCP (and a nice person here, thanks again!) recomended that we try some things with his Fenyl patch to see if we can get more relief. He said, and I've also read here, that putting the patch on a 'fatty' part of the body helps because of the interaction between the drug and fat cells. The hard part with this has been keeping the patch ON the spot we place it.
Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
498385 tn?1362449404 Ok well I am smoking again it is under a 1/2 pack a day.Question is I bought the patch. How is that working for anybody who is using it? What are the side affects.Does it work?Plus I heard that it can give you a heart attack if you smoke on it.
382218 tn?1341181487 I am fortunate to have a good employer who is not pressuring me, however for my own sanity I really hope to be back at work sooner than later. I was wondering, for those of you in the workforce, how much time have you missed due to your MS symptoms? How did you cope with being off? For those with visual problems like mine, have you found anything to help you adjust so that you could work?
Avatar f tn You can google for side effects of the new ones he will be taking, Does he work with any Toxins ? You have my sympathy , its not easy is it, I hope he feels better soon.

1209036 tn?1299178657 A blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm about 60 minutes after drinking the solution. The blood test measures how the glucose solution was metabolized (processed by the body). A blood glucose of 140mg/dL will identify 80% of women with gestational diabetes. When that cutoff is lowered to 130mg/dL the yield increases to 90%.
