Default Fentanyl ?
Can anyone share their experience with fentanyl patch and or pop- I just took ultram- I really liked it BUT I was hung over and stomache upset for 2 days (as usual- everything gives me the big D)- So I am thinking I need a drug that does not go thru the stomache- Would love any suggestions

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fentanyl! i had the patches.. didnt know that they come in pops?? are they like lollipops?? I was on the fent. patches but since i have a latex allergy, i am allergic to something in the adhesive part of the patch and had to take it off after day one. But it was like 2 hours and i felt a difference.. took almost all my pain away and didnt leave me in a fog or upset my stomach... almost made me feel normal.. from what i remember normal feeling!!

Default Fentanyl patch
Deb,

I used the Fentanyl patch for about a year and a half with pain relief that was pretty good. Fentanyl is potent medicine and you will be started on a low dose for sure. In my experience dizziness was a major issue. I also had some problems with skin rashes. (I don't recall it causing the big-D, you are more likely to get constipated. ) Over all, I would use it again with no hesitation if needed.

Default No one answer
Hi

I've found that we all react different to medication. The only way I believe is do a trial with the drug in question.

Fentantyl made me very depressed and anxiety ridden.

Rsd seems to be a very individual thing. I hope Fentanyl is an answer for you.
