Fentanyl Equivalent To Hysingla

Updated

My Dr. has switched my from Hysingla ER 60mg/daily (taken for 2 years) to 25 mcg/Fentanyl 1/every 3 days patch for a short time while I go through a tumor extraction in the rectal cavity. having to be on serious laxitives and bowel prep for the evaluations have left me with little to no pain meds in my system and the onset of withdrawl symptoms. Anyway I'm 24 hours on this new patch and Sometimes I feel okay but mostly in pain that I wasn't when on Hysingla. Am I getting adequate dosage, does it take awhile to help? Also take Cymbalta 60mg 1/daily and Nuerotin 30mg/ 2 daily

The laxatives are depleting in your body of the opioid more quickly because that's what laxatives do, they clean you out, especially toxins, which can be a huge reason many people have constipation. However, I've read of people using large doses of Loperamide (antidiarrhea medicine) to help the loose stools of those going through opiate withdrawal. I've never tried it myself, but apparently the Loperimide binds to the same receptors as opiates. Don't take my word for it, but I have read it on all kinds of different medicine forums. If I were you, I'd tell my doctor that the patches aren't lasting the full 72 hours and suggest changing them every 48 hours may be more beneficial for your pain. My experience: almost 10 years on the patches, periods of Some and Norco, but I'm now only on the patch and try my best to deal with the breakthrough pain. Of course if it becomes completely unbearable, see a doctor or ER physician as soon as possible. I know we all try to tough out the pain, but it does become unbearable at some point. I do hope I offered some help at least!?

Yes, it can take awhile for your body to adjust to the switch from one medication to the other.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any improvement?

The FDA warns that Fentanyl carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Are you eventually going back on the Hyslinga?
