			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->HELL:cool: everyone!!!Ive been taking trazodone 50mg for about 1 month now. It seems to help with my depression/anxiety and sleep but for the last 2 weeks Sleep has been hell for me. Besides always having the weird dumb nightmares which is a common side effect with this medication, i have had trouble falling asleep. I mean i would sleep for about 4 hours, wake up and fall back to sleep for an hour and this will just continue through the night until i would give up trying to sleep and just wake up. Is problems staying asleep a known side effect with this medication and will it go away after a while? Also could it be the fact that im taking it with 100mg of zoloft thats giving me these weird sleeping patterns? I dont really want to stop taking the trazodone because i feel that is has helped with my depression but being tired all the time is just hell. thanks for the help!!<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hi.<br />
<br />
Excuse my bad English. I'm not a native English speaker and I'm feeling really terrible at the moment.<br />
<br />
I'm 27 years old, diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Really bad flare up which I probably shouldn't have survived with out surgery, left me with very serious chronic pain condition that lives a life of it's own regardless of the inflammation in my bowels. Pain levels are 9/10 without any pain medication. It has been really difficult to get any help, chronic pain management is not very good in this country I live in and opioids are feared and my relatively young age doesn't help at all. <br />
<br />
I've suffered from this pain situation for about two years without the necessary pain management. Everything but opioids was tried at first with no relief. This situation has basically ruined my life and I'm so tired because of the pain.<br />
<br />
Basically everything available excluding the strong opioids were tried until recently. I'm on Lyrica, dosage 2-4x 150mg day depending how much of the side effects I can tolerate.<br />
<br />
I was on Norspan patches for around 12months, dosages from 1 x 5micrograms/h to 2 x 20micrograms/h. My skin couldn't take them very well and towards the end of the usage, my pain management doctor prescribed the 20 microg/h patch to be changed in every 3 days.<br />
<br />
Everyone kept saying it takes them at least 20 hours to start effecting and full level is reached in 2-3 days. One patch should last 7 days. I remember when I started using them and every time if I changed to a new patch too late or if the dosage was changed, feeling the effects and the wd symptoms in only 2-3hours. I didn't notice any change in pain levels after about 8hours. So in the end when I changed the patch in every 3days, the real dosage might be doubled what it should according to the information.<br />
<br />
Two days ago, I couldn't take this pain anymore and I managed to find a doctor who was willing to help me. Norspan patches were taken off at 10am. I got an injection of oxycodone 5mg's 15 minutes later. Because of the buprenorphine I couldn't get the real relief from it but the pain level decreased so much that the life was tolerable.<br />
<br />
at 1 pm. I started to feel the pain again. The doctor had prescribed Durogesic 12.5Mcg/hr patches. I put the first one on at 1:30pm. I felt pain increase again for a 2-3hours, then it started to go decrease again. I was feeling much better until the next day 3pm. The pain started to come back again, at 7pm I was feeling quite bad. Withdrawal symptoms, anxiety and the pain increasing slowly. <br />
<br />
at 10pm. I felt the pain as strong as without any kind of medication. I was almost screaming and crying. I've read that for some people the Durogesic only works for 48hours. But I had mine on only for 30hours, It was also about 36hours from removing the Norspan patches. If the concentration in my blood from buprenorphine was higher than expected maybe the Durogesic wasn't strong enough, but why was I feeling so good pain relief in the morning? <br />
<br />
Anyway, I had one Oxynorm 5mg capsule in case of emergency. I took that at 10:30pm when the pain was unbearable and the withdrawal symptoms were quite bad. It helped in 15 minutes. Fell asleep.<br />
<br />
I woke up only few hours later, at 2:45am. The pain was starting to come back again, I still noticed the effects from the Oxynorm but I knew It wouldn't last for long. I put on another Durogesic patch and felt the wd symptoms starting to decrease slowly, It's now 4:55 am. The pain is enough to keep me from falling asleep but it is much better than a few hours ago.<br />
<br />
Can someone help me? Is the Durogesic dosage too low or is there some reason that the transdermal patches won't last long enough for me as I've always felt the same way with Norspan patches also? Or should I try to ask my doctor If it is possible to change to Oxycontin and what would be the correct dosage? Or am I not feeling the full effects of any of these until more time has passed from quitting the buprenorphine even though the dosage wasn't that big compared to someone using Subutex for example? And why did I felt enough pain relief earlier if the buprenorphine was still binding to the receptors?<br />
<br />
It's so easy to be blamed as a drug abuser in where I live and lose all the medications so I have to play this extremely carefully.<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>
