This is good info. here.

I used the patch when I first got the RSD. Within 6 hours I was throwing my guts up. I know it's some strong stuff.

This reminds me of the man in California a couple of years ago that killed himself with them.

It's good that meds are out there that work for people but a person has to be really careful with them.

I actually feel safer with my Methadone then anything I have taken but I do know it didn't work for others. Of course it doesn't make me sick like all of the others did and a lower dosage works for me.

You find some great info for everyone here.

Thanks sandra.
This is always good to know. I just started on the patch last month and it is still making me confused, dizzy at times, but getting much needed relief. I have been on the 60 mg. of the Morphine time released pills, but I was still getting a lot of pain, so I am now on these. I would never try to put on more of the patches than one, as the one takes care of all the pain. When I first started using this patch, I thought.. this isn't working! Then around the 3rd. day, I was in so much pain free days, that it is good to have. Just don't carry it around people you know who are druggies or they will steal these off of you the patch says, or something like that. (It's printed on the info inside the box on a long sheet) Just use as prescribed and like Ada said; you provide us with so much good information, so, I too want to thank you!~Love, Desi
