fentynal patch sad story
 

That is so sad. I was given fentanyl patches just yesterday, and I don't even keep them in the house with my husband and two adult kids. I keep the one-month supply in my purse with me at all times. Not that I don't trust my family members, but you just never know who they might have in the house who COULD be someone looking for stuff to "take and try."

After just one night, I can tell a bit of difference in my pain level and my overall outlook on the day, and even have a bit more energy. I was really getting drug down by pains and lack of energy!

I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS a couple months ago, been battling stuff like crazy since foot surgery in November.

Upward battle, but I refuse to give up!

patches
 

arent you aware these patches have been recalled . I would check with your drug store asap

There
 

were 2 25 at least 2 fentanyl Transdermal 25 mcg/h taken off the market
one brand was Sandoz,sorry don't know the other brand. The fentanyl
dis 25mcq/hr mylan have not, these are the ones the fall off and you
use tape from johson& johnsons to hold on.You should not wear in shower,
don't let them fall on floor very dangerous for little ones. You must be
opidid toolerant...You must
pick the cript up at the Dr. and walk it to the Drug store. I just talked
to pharmacist the other brand was the other none generic 25 mgh/h.
but not the higher doses. You do not use if pouch on seal is broken.
purse is a good idea but it's very hot in Mo. during the summer but is
a good idea. But please feel free to call the Dr. or the pharmacist.
There's a lot of papers in box to read,and rhat was a sad story,I
put used one's in locked container where I put my lancets..Sue

Thank you SOOOOO much for the concern and the warning, but no need to worry this particular time.

I have the Duragesic fentanyl patch, 12mcg dose right now. Different brand, different dose. I checked into things, and my particular patches are safe.

(At least for the moment)

I do appreciate you're looking out for me, though, especially considering the fact that I am a new "stranger" to the forum! :hug:

Here's wishes for you guys to have a pleasant Easter Sunday.
