everyone I saw up untill the doc made me feel like poop but he turned out to be nice. He put me on 12.5 fentanyl and baclofen. Anyone having luck with those? I go back in two weeks for a check up plus need to make 2 appointments for a "mental" eval and pt. Gotta do what I gotta do I guess. I was shocked at how cheep the meds were. I paid less then 20 dollars. Thank god for small favors. I need to wait untill about 3:00 or so to put it on. Mat take a short nap first! I AM WORN OUT!

I don't get to try the fentanyl patch until Friday so if you could, let me know how it works out for you!

I'm glad they finally got you on something. I have to go to a psychiatrist as well and PT.

Well, I just put my patch on. I needed a nap first. I cant believe how small it is. I have high hopes in it. I really hope it works. I wonder how long it will take to get into my system.

Thats a good question, I wonder how long it will take. I hate that I have to wait until Friday to put mine on and then we don't know how long it will take to work. I need some serious releife today!

Well keep me posted!

I havn't been on any type of pain medication and the doctor wanted to see how I did with the Ultram first, and have it in my system for a few days before I put the patch on.

The only difference I have noticed since taking the Ultram is that I have a headache that doesn't seem to want to go away.

Is the patch making you tired? I had read that it makes some people really tired.

I can't wait to be released from some of this pain! I'm so excited for us lol!

Yes I am a little tired but I can deal with that! Plus I was worried that I would catch a buzz and thats not the case at all. The pain isnt gone but it went from a 7 to a 4 I would say! So feeling tired is the least of my worries. If I need to I can nap.LOL
