I just started these patches yesterday afternoon and I think it is just kicking in. I have a headache from them and I also feel a bit nauseated from them. I find my balance isn\'t very good with them also. Is anyone else using these and will the balance and nausea get any better? I am using the smallest dose right now.

Is this like a fentynal patch. I have one on, and I did fine for a month or so. Now the dizziness and nausea is horrible.

I believe that this is a Fentanyl patch that you arewearing...You described my symptoms spot-on...
It took my body awhile to adjust to that strong of a medication in it!!:)...Just hang in there, & keep us posted...You are on the 25mgs? That is pretty low...Maybe it\'s just to strong for you!
I\'m sorry...Please keep me posted though ok!!

I have stopped taking the patch now. It made me so tired and ill that I felt the pain was easier to take. I have tried everything out there I think. Does anyone have any ideas for the pain without the illness from the medications?

THOUGHT I WOULD ADD MY TWO CENTS IN HERE. I AM ALSO ON THE Fentanyl PATCH AND THE FIRST TIME I PUT ONE ONE I DID FEEL SICK FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL MY BODY GOT USED TO IT. THIS CAN ALSO HAPPEN IF YOU LIKE FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR PATCH FOR TOO LONG AND IT\'S LIKE OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM FOR AWHILE.

I ALSO HAVE FOUND WHEN THEY INCREASE MY PATCH I SOMETIMES GET ILL FEELING FOR THE FIRST DAY OR SO.
MY BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN ON THESE TOO AND HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SO WHEN I WAS GETTING ILL FEELINGS SHE WAS THERE TO REASURE ME I WOULD BE OK IN A DAY OR TWO... hang in there!!!

I was only put on the patches for a few weeks my dr. is real funny about giving them to anyone long term... But I was given something for nausea also and didn't have any problems they worked better than anything I have taken yet.

THE PATCHES REAST DIFFERENTLY TO EVERYONE. ONE THING YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM IN CERTAIN PLACES AND SWITHC THEM. NEVER A SHOULDER OR ARM OR ANY PLACE THAT THE SUN WILL HIT THEM. IT IS LIKE THEY SHOOT STRAIGHT INTO YOUR SYSTEM THEN. HOPE YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING THAT HELPS YOU, GOLDI

I understand that they make a 12mcp. I have been on 100mcp for three months. I do not remember the first month. But I finally woke up. I start of 25mcp in July, I just kept getting more mcp due to pain. Be sure to keep you doctor informed.

Opps, I forgot to tell you I am on the Duragestic patch which is a brand on fental. I am not on morphine.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
