> Hi ,

> You mentioned that you were thinking of asking your doctor about

durogesic patches to use on occasions when you are unable to take

oral meds. I'm no expert, but i'm not sure how practical that would

be. My own personal experience of durogesic patches was that i used

them for approximately 3 weeks when i had a lot of pain, prior to

surgery. Trying to stop them proved difficult. I had to reduce the

dose gradually, but still experienced all sorts of unpleasant

symptoms such as insomnia, feeling restless and aggitated etc. I've

been off them for almost 5 weeks now. They are very effective, but

i'm not sure if they're intended for intermittent, occasional use.

Sue,

I just responded to 's post to me regarding the Duragesic. You

are right in that it is not a medication to take as suggests.

In fact, it doesn't work for acute pain, only for the long term,

chronic pain. If you have a flare of Pancreatitis, it is usually

stopped for something else (when in the hospital for instance, they

may put you on IM/IV pain meds).
