Hello, Mac! How are you?

Really, the only thing you can do is be honest with your doctor.

Why did you want off of the Fentanyl? Were you having problems with it?

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Yes had most of those side effects. Plus I have muscular dystrophy I have my bad days. But I do have my better days and I want to be able to choose what to take day to day so if I don't need to take something I want that choice. And didn't have that patch is 24-7 and you can't just stop taking it I tryed skipping doses and became so drug sick wanted to grab the anchor and jump overboard worse feeling ever.....

Hello I'm a 23 year old with chrons disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, a hole in my stomach that leaks fluid into my hips which I need replaced. I don't have health insurance either. She only gives me enough to take 2 5mg percocet a day. Which I need 40mg a day. I always hurt and my body is eating me alive. The percocet makes me feel like a regular person to an extent and gives me the freedom to bath myself an dress myself. My doctor made me sign a contract but I run out every month and have to go to the hospital. I'm scared they think IIuse my medications when in reality my tolerance had always been high and my pain is absolutely the worst 9 out of a 10. I'm scared they will cut me off but I'm slowly dying since my intestines are eating me alive an I've already dropped 90 pounds in a few months. The doctors at the hospital always understand and give me hugs and tell me if I ever run out come in because they know I don't abuse my meds and they give me the capability to walk and atleast get out of bed to pass a stool by myself. I don't know what to do and I don't want to get in trouble over something I can't control. My primary care physician is the one who gives me my meds an she always says I don't need them because back in her day people sucker it up so she refuses to give me more thstthat 2 a day. The pain is so bad that I've been on bedrest for almost 2 years now. All the ER doctors told me I have a body of a 75 year old when I'm only 23. I just want to function and be around people again but I'm not getting the correct treatment I deserve since I don't have insurance. Please somebody give me advice on what I should do! Thanks for your time!

Also my doctor said she wouldn't give me anything without signing a contract ao obviously I did because I literally can't walk 95 percent of the time. I don't want to get in trouble but the hospital knows how sick I am and how I'm slowly deteriorating ao they always say don't be afraid to come back we are here to help. Plus they know I don't abuse my meds. I don't want to get in trouble I just don't know what to do. I I'm curled up in a ball and can barely walk I need my medicine but the people who abuse it ruined it for people like me that actually need them to not be crying daily because of the excruciating pain I endure.
