Re: Fentanyl Patches / Alternative meds

[Guest guest]

Debs,

It's good that you are able to do this. I also have found a

replacement medication, called Neurontin, that isn't a narcotic, which

has reduced my usage of oxycodone by more than 50%. Now I take 1,800

mgs. of Neurontin daily, and can increase it at any time if I want to.

Since I started this, my oxycodone is only used in extreme

situations, and I've also reduced my duragesic patch dosage considerably.

I still love the duragesic patch, and do rely upon it to help keep me

at a point where I can function most of the time with minimal pain.

That, along with the pancreas Antioxidants and the Neurontin, are what

keep me going.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
