HiiIs there someone who has been put on the Duragesic patch, that has been on for over 7 years, or longer? I went from 25, to 50, to 75, and now at 100mcg currently. This is were i'am at, and they are starting to not be enough, and the doctor wants to put me on a higher dose. Well personally I have had enough, and I want to be off of them, and free of the ball and chain of these nasty patches! Also have to have breakthrough pain meds of Roxicodone5mg at @ 10 a day with flare ups of crohns disease, which include many fistula tracts, and R/A included. I'am a 41 yr old mother of two boys, and my life is overwelming having to deal with depending on the patch. Half the time they come off early(especially in summer in SC) I have been battling trying to stop on my own, from letting the patch expire past 3 days......will never do that again-I thought I was going to die! Very painful and scary:( So I tried to wein down, and this has not worked at all, always get sick and cant make it and put another on to stop the seizure, and convulsions, leg shakes, vomitting, diarrhea etc etc etc. I'am so lost of what to do, and I dont trust any docs to work with me. Could I get experienced individuals who can give me insight, and guidance to be done with these pesky patches! Thank you so very very much!!
