Med question and a quick catch up

[weezle735]

Thank You for your answer. Unfortunantly I had a negative side effect (i will call it) Saturday I started to itch severely. I had nail scratcharks down my arms and legs, face and neck. Then came the sever nausea and vomiting several times. I slept 6hrs during the day then 12 at night. Woke up Sunday afternoon, 1pm I think and could not get outta bed. Body just wanted to sleep, ripped patch off, had shakes and itchyness for about 1-2 hrs then gone....nausea and vomiting were gone within 3-4 hrs. And by end of day I was feeling back to almost normal. So I guess 5 days on the patch and u cld say I OD'ed. But now pain has returned ten fold an Im back to my cocktail of meds. which has me comtemplating the patch again, but wont risk it. Thanks for sharing ur story.

It was seriously freakn me out. I couldnt take it any longer and had to take it off. Dont get me wrong it took away my pain and there are times I think maybe if I try again it wont give me the side effects, but I still have some mind left to know that it doesnt work like that. I am glad that I was able to read about it from you or I may have chalked it up as just side effects when in fact it was an OD. And now I am aware of what to look for.
