Hi Mom,
I use Fentanyl (.75 mcg) and Hydrocodone IR for pain. I need opiods to control my head pain, which is totally and completely disabling. I used to take Methadone also, but Dr. Getson pointed out that Methadone and Fentanyl DON"T go together. In addition to those meds, I take Topamax (200 mg), Cymbalta (60 mg), Skelaxin (800 mg at night), Clonodine (for HBP due to pain), and Ambien CR 12.5 mg. I also use a number of Lidoderm and Flector patches, and Voltaren gel. The gel is the equivalent of the Flector patches and I can put it in my hair on the back of my head when I get really bad headaches.
XOXOX Sandy
