Pain Patches Vs Percocet

3 Topics Found

I live with severe chronic pain for 3+ years, degenerative disc disease, cervical spine. Life is at times and quite often, hell. I don't know how else to describe it and the worst if the constipation from the percocets. Are the fentanyl patches a reasonable alternative to percocets? Do they cause constipation? Should my doctor consider prescribing me patches to try? Cannabis by the way has helped me reduce my opioid intake my 75%. Do a search for beyondthc and find out the facts. Unfortunately my pain is more severe and so a combination has helped me do this major reduction, however the constipation is still a problem. Help! ## Hi Tudo, Sorry to hear about your complications with Percocet. From what I could gather, Fentanyl patches list the following gastrointestinal related side ef...

I have fibromyalgia, endo, pelvic floor dysfunction, cysts forming around my spine, 36 fibroids removed, a hystorectomy but still have my ovaries. The fibro is in my lungs and also the endo. I've been on the highest dosage of gabapentin, 6 antidepressants, Xanax, trazodone, percocet, soma, meltaxlone, lidocaine shots and patches and dialudid 4 2x a day.

Hi, first of all, thank you in advance for all your assistance! I have been in 2 different car wrecks, as well as a 2 time cancer survivor. I've recently had to switch doctors as my PCWORLD has closed her practice. Anyways, I was able to find another PCP, but he has switched my pain medication from Oxycontin 60 mg ER 2x's daily to MS Contin 60 mg ER 2x's daily, he did keep my Percocets 7.5/325 2x's daily for breakthrough. Obviously the MS Contin does not work as well. My question is, he has recommended me to switch to Butrans (buprenorphine) transdermal patches. Is anyone familiar with this and if so, could you please tell me of your experience, i.e. does it work; what are the pros &/or cons. Thank you! ## I would advise you to get back on oxycontin rather than ms co...
