Re: New Medication Questions

[Guest guest]

Jim, my son just read about it and wanted me to check with my

Jim my son just called me this past week and he had read about that

medicine. He wanted me to as my Dr. about it. I did ask today and he

honestly told me he had not heard about it. He wants me to see a pain

specialist which I will do but it will be at least two weeks.

I did research it and it sounds good. I believe it was in 2008 that

it came out.

Good luck and please let me know if yo go on it and how it works

Jim, I forgot to say that I am on the fentanyl patch and will be

interested to know if he starts you immediately on the new med or how

he weans you off the patch.

Thanks for your help. Lois

I'm currently on Nucynta 75mg tablets (one tab every 4-6 hours). I was started

on the 50mg tablets, but didn't get any relief. I'm also on MS Contin 15mg

twice a day (long acting med). The PM doc that I go to said she has had

patients that have had good relief from the Nucynta, but at this point I'm not

impressed. Injured my back from a fall on the ice & I have multiple levels of

damage in my lower back, not a surgical candidate either. Dr had me on

hydrocodone 10/325 tabs 1-2 every 4-6 hours. Taking 2 hydrocodone wasn't giving

me relief any longer, so she put me on the long acting med & the Nucynta. She

also said that sometimes we have to slowly increase the dose to find what's

going to work for me (hoping something works). Problem is I only see her once a

month, so I technically end up suffering til I see her again to adjust my meds.

But as we all know, everyone is different. PM doc had also put me on Opana

previously, too, which she said was a great pain med, since she had other

patients that had good relief using it. It was like taking a sugar pill to me.

Hopefully you get good results from the Nucynta!

Jim,

I have been taking the Nucynta for about 6 months now. I take 2 to 3 tabs a day

when the fentanyl, morphine and oxycodone don't cut it. It especially helps

with the pain in my legs and feet and I have noticed no side effects. There is

a copay coupon that you should have gotten from the MD.

Hope that helps.

Hugs,

New Medication Questions

Dear All,

I have a couple questions. I had to go in to see my doctor yesterday. Pain

level in my legs is soaring. He put me on a medication that I have never heard

of. Have any of you been on Nucynta? If so how did it help and did you have any

side effects. I went to fill it at the pharmacy last night and they do not even

stock it and they can not get it until Monday. My doctor took me off the Norco

but still has me on the Fentynal Patch. So I am not going to start the new

medication until Monday. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Take care

Jim
