Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi Sue. I don't take it, but Dylan does. This is the medication/narcotic that has left him with a clear head. I'm now considering to have him take drivers Ed. My mom is on 75 MG and she still drives. She has a clear head. My mom had no side affect when she started them. Dylan had to cold sweats with every new patch for the first 2 to 3 weeks. I have heard of people getting nausea from them at first. It's just one of those things you have to work through for a short while. Hope this helps. Cindylouwho. Duragesic patch Hi Everyone, been having lots of pain lately, and have tried the patch in the past, but within three days had lots of nausea and vomiting,.... It is the only time I can remember that I felt almost completely painfree. My question is: Does anyone here who is on it still drive? Thanks for any help.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi Sue I too tried the patches in the past and had a fairly bad experience with them. While leaving me completely (well almost) pain free and level headed they also left with with incredible nausea and light headedness. My new pain doctor has discussed the patch again and said that the first time i was on it wasnt handled correctly so to try it again more steps woudl have to be taken. This is what he told me. When i was first on it the gp just had me start right with wearing it even though i hadnt had any type of narcotics in a few months (as he wouldnt perscribe anything to me) and i was never given a perscription anti-nauseant which I should have been given according to him. Well thats just my two cents Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi Sue -- I hope you are feeling better real soon - I am so sorry you are in such pain. I will keep you in my prayers. Love, Patti Duragesic patch Hi Everyone, Need some info......have been having lots of pain lately, and have tried the patch in the past, but within three days had lots of nausea and vomiting, so have been afraid to try again, but they did do a scope at that time and the problem I was having couldn't have been caused by the patch and I am thinking abut asking to try again. It is the only time I can remember that I felt almost completely painfree. My question is: Does anyone here who is on it still drive? Do you get used to the medicine and are able to drive? Even though the meds I take now, no longer affect me mentally (tolerance) I am afraid to drive while taking....figure it I get in an accident, even if not my fault they will try to peg it on me. So hence my refusal to take meds around the clock, and i guess if this will hinder my ability to drive I won't do the patch either. Thanks for any help.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for the info !!!! Yes, I am opiod tolerant.....I was on some pretty heavy stuff when I was in the hospital for seven weeks. Now it seems what I am on at home is not helping, although like I said I don't use it the way I should. I think I am going to try it again (the patch). I have just been miserable and being I have been so sick I just don't see fighting this issue any longer is helping my situation. I just want to enjoy what ever time I have left and I certainly am not when I am this miserable. I just was worried about functionality as it is important that I continue to be a mom for as long as possible. Thanks! Hugs, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
