User Reviews for fentanyl transdermal

2 years chronic stenosis, 2 bulging disc,1 extrusion 2patches 12mcg probably need larger dose , perhaps direct injection?

only 1 brand sticks to my skin- Sandoz. I bought a velcro wristband to hold it on if it does get loose, and I stick it to my wrist. I've tried all other long acting pain relievers and this worked the best by far, in combination with the short acting pain meds. I have found the gel ones work better than "dry" patches. I've got lupus and fibromyalgia, so nothing completely gets rid of the pain, but it helps. I don't know if a fentanyl manufacturer has a program for people on Medicare Part D, but if you can no longer afford to buy it, I'd check into that. My mother gets her 200.00 RX for 25.00/ mo from the manufacturer because she used up her part D benefit.Read More Read Less

I am getting more relief now than i have had in 3years. Need a better way to keep patch on. every time i move the patch wants to come off. So i put a large bandaide over it.

All I can say is "thank you." This medication, in combination with other meds my pain management specialist has prescribed have given me back a somewhat normal life!

This product is the very best therapy I have found to help me to live somewhat of a normal life. Big ploblem....too exspensive I am on Medicare disability it ate up my plan D allowance. Right now I am in PAIN hell. But I have given my friends the thumbs up on the heavenly days you can have.

was nice not to have to take pills, just stick on the patch and forget about taking meds for 72 hrs

I have been extremely sick with side effects: nasaeu, constipaton, headaches, pain, patch not sticking, caused a heart attack with this medicine. Dr did not believe I could have all these symptoms and felt I just wanted my former drugs back. My doctor continues to insist that i remain on this medicine. My family doctor does not wish to interfere because he fears a lawsuit against the Dr in question. My dilemma now is trying to find a Dr to write a prescription to replace this medicine and get me off of it and take care of my treatment. I phoned Dr 5 times in two days in extreme distress and was told not to call again. Ended up in hospital ER with heartattack from medicine. horribile side effects.Read More Read Less

I have just recently been using the Fentanyl TD Patch,and it actually works great.It's easy to use because I can put it on,and forget about the patch for a few days.Instead of being on a daily schedule to take numerous narcotic pain medications that didn't have much effect on me for my spinal conditions that have disable me,and puts me through immense pain.This is the first thing i've been on that has actually helped me with my pain management programs I go through to manage the non stop chronic moderately severe pain I have every day of my life.If it wasn't for this patch i wouldn't be able to function properly to do daily things like cooking meals,bathing,cleaning my house,or even checking the mail without being in intense pain.Read More Read Less

I have been using the patches for 4 months, at first I felt relief but now I don't feel so at ease. My pain has returned and extreme tiredness. I have severe spinal osteoporosis. Surgery has left me in chronic pain due to spinal nerve damage. I use 75mg patch every 3 days. I will review with my GP with a view to increase the dose

My spinal cord is tethered and it is nice to finally be able to get up and do things and be productive. I feel human again.

I have no side effects with this drug and the effectiveness has been great for the last 8 months i been on the patchs. I take this drug due to terminal cancer related pain. (Dr's have me 150 mcg/h and i change every other day)

great results, hardly need oral pain meds

Very bad side affects sickness,nervesness,hot/cold,lost of appitie and lost 35lbs. in 3 months!

it's easy to use and works well. i like it because i don't have to remember to take pills all the time and my pain level is covered all of the time

This med has worked for me. This med has been easy to take. Overall, I have been satisfied with my experience.

I suffer from degenerative disk disease. Had gastric bypass surgery and ingested long-acting pain medication doesn't work because of my changed digestion process. This is only thing that's worked for me. Getting out of bed in the morning was very difficult before I started using the patches. Nausea was a problem, but is effectively controlled by anti-nausea medication.

Chronic back pain and broken Femur that won't heal

It has decreased my pain level from an 8 to a 4, especially in the morning. It has sometimes caused nausea but can be controlled. It appears to be very effective but I have only been taking it for two weeks.

works very well with small dose of lortab 2.5mg on bad days.
