Guest guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Sue, I have used the fentanyl patch.I didn't like it much.If it helped I was out of it from too much fentanyl or,otheriwse it didn't work well.What I did'nt know is that it works best after you've used it for a while.I believe the medication builds up some in our systems.Anyway, now no doctor has prescribed it so I only take pain meds.Anyway thanks for sharing information! Debra, we all were talking about meds like Ritalin and  Provigil/ Nuvigil, you probably read all that. While not as intense as a drug, I can tell you that when I was still working, I found that  NADH (enada) a supplement helped me some. I found the cheapest version of NADH was at The Vitamin Shoppe, but don't know if it's better or worse than any other brands. I was intensely fatigued at the time but I can say that it gave me better endurance--I lasted longer.

I am now on the Fentanyl patch, which does give some relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I used the fentanyl patch also for a month or so, my pain just kept getting worse and worse, coulnd't sleep, led to a meltdown for me! Went to my Drs and he told me that they give that stuff to dying cancer patients. I dropped it shortly thereafter and just popped NSAIDs 24/7 a few months later.
