I would LOVE to stop the Fentanyl patch since I am playing with Lyrica to find the right dose to relieve ALL my pain. The Lyrica is working. I asked how to stop the patch and was told to just to stop using it since I am also taking Oxycodone. I am down to the 25 mg patch. Is this the right way to do it?

I just started 25 mcg patch every 72 hrs. So far this is great, NO pain! I was taking 150 10/325 Percocet 
 and 60 15mg Opana every month and usually running out. I spoke to my Dr. and will be having genetic testing done just to see if I am on the best meds. I still have the Percocet for bt pain but do not anticipate taking many. Was genetic testing helpful for you?

I am being weaned off the fentanyl patch. It shut down my bowel and I have been hospitalized 8 times since November with vomiting. I was on 75 mcg every 72 hours. I&#039;m on 50 mcg and have been for the past two weeks. I shake. I sweat, I hurt, I cry. I was put on it for spinal stenosis. Have had many bone surgeries. How much longer will I have to deal with this? What a nightmare!!!

5 yrs ago I 1st tried it and had some results. After about 2 yrs it just stopped the little help I was getting. Over this 31 yrs I have been on practically everything for Crohnss and a lor of off label meds with minimal results. 4 bowel resections and many hospitalizations later I am still looking for relief. Can any one w/ Crohns who has used the Pen tell me how it worked for you? My doc wants me to try again b/c we are basically at the end of the line. All advice welcome, thanks, Chelle

I usually apply my 50mcg Fentanyl patches to my lower abdomen and hips but have noticed that the adhesive is stuck to the insides of my pants. I&#039;ve tried OxyClean and pretreating my pants, but it&#039;s not removing any of the adhesive from my pants. Unless I apply the patches to the backs of my hands or face, chances are, I&#039;ll still have this issue with placing the patches elsewhere. Thanks!

37 year old male

Due to my injuries in the army, and my tolerance to both pain meds and muscle relaxers, I had a Medtronics pain pump put in back in July of 2014.

It took a while to get the dosing right, but I&#039;ve been on the same dosage for about a year. 

Over the last 4-6 months, I&#039;ve really been unable to sleep well. I&#039;ve been diagnosed with central sleep apnea (new), and will be fitted for a CPAP this week.

You can&#039;t take any over the counter...

My mom has been using Dilaudid for almost a month &#38; finally, after seeing an Oncologist, was put on 12.5 Fentanyl patch almost 3 days ago. She is still feeling quite a bit of pain and is asking for the Dilaudid once in a while. Since it is a 3 day w/e, can&#039;t contact the Dr. I realize this is the lowest dose and she may have to go up. Has anyone been prescribed this for a metastasized bone cancer? If so, what dose and how is it working for you? Thanks.
