Meds That Can Be Taken With The Fentynal Patch
UpdatedI am currently on 75mg Fentanyl patch, along with Tramadol,Nuerotin & Methotrexate.(those are just the meds for pain) I have bulging disc pressing on my spinal cord & pinching a nerve. I also suffer from severe arthritis that can eventually become crippling. April 2014 I had a full hysterectomy that required a bladder sling,pelvic mesh,I have been experiencing pain & complications from that surgery. Then in July 2014, I broke my tail bone.Since all these things I have alot of break thru pain. What medication can be prescribed with the fentanyl patch that is safe & can best help manage the pain. I have 14 & 9yr old boys,I would love to be able to thru all their practices & games. The last 2yrs I've had to missed alot of them. Please if anyone has any suggestions or knows what has worked for them. PLEASE answer back!!!

Hello, Jenna! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in so much pain.
Ultimately, what is prescribed is up to your doctor, but most of the regular release opiates may help, such as Oxycodone, Dilaudid or Morphine.
Your patch could also be raised to the 100mcg dosage.
The FDA classifies these medications as being narcotic analgesics, so they carry the risk of being habit forming and they may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?
