I'll be darned. It's so important to have a good doc re: these meds, or, if you can't get this, really watch out for yourself.
I didn't know Fentora was the top one out there.
I'm on the list here for emails from the local chapter of The Amer*can Pain Foundation.
I take oxycodone for back. I cannot take morphine sulfate re: cognitive properties.
I've only had two experiences w/ fentanyl.
I had a patch. I became so 'out of it', I forgot to take it off at 'take off time'. I lived alone. I 'forgot' two days, an entire weekend. Turned out I functioned very well in this state though as all my errands had been done when I thankfully awakened Monday morning.
I had it for a colo. It didn't work!!! It was terrible~~!!!
I wrote to Nova*tis about an antibiotic of theirs .. Leva*uin.
I'd taken my daily vites and meds and it.
There is a warning on the side of scrip not to take iron products or antacids within 2hr of taking it.
I didn't think, to think, my mag w/ calcium and zinc was an antacid. Looking back I guess I should have been more careful. I know some women take Tums for their calcium.
Anyway, my body began to tingle head to toe w/ pain and I sensed some impending event. I was scared. I ended up spending a couple hundred dollars to sit alone in a hospital w/o anyone knowing why I was there. They didn't dx it.
It was in the morning, butt sore from sittin' outside a dark hospital @ 4a, I got a ride home, looked at the bottle and called a knowledgeable pharmacist.
Yes, there 'was' a doc in the ER. I prob' should argue the $50 co-pay.
Apparently there were deaths w/ Zelnorm.(?)
Pulled off shelves. I haven't read anything yet. Hope it returns. Gave me so much relief. I was able to eat nearly like a person striving to be healthy by way of food, would eat.
