Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi, everybody. I haven't posted any messages in a long time. Sorry about that. I wanted to throw something out there for consideration. I've run the gamut of pain meds. Started with Percodan, Percocet, Vicodin, OxyContin (lots and lots of this very scary drug). I became concerned with the OxyContin and discussed this with my docs. I started on Duragesic patches, settling at 200 micrograms/hour as a dose. They are very low maintenance with the patches needing to be changed every three days. The active pain killer is Fentenyl (sp?), which is one of the drugs given for general anasthesia. It is a very powerful drug. I was able to stop a very high dose (500+ mg of OxyContin per day) cold turkey with these things. Hope this info helps somebody! y B.
