Dear Sherry,
I am on the Duragesic patch 75. One side effect may be upset stomach,
if this happens, call your DR & they can give you something for it. I
found that the patch works very good. I am also on MS Contin 60 mg and
Vicodin 10 mg for break through pain. You will need to start on a low
dose & work up to avoid side effects & when coming off of the patch, you
need to go down slow too. I have a prescription book that I read when
ever starting a new medication, you can try that or look on line. I
hope I have helped in some way and I hope the patch works to control
your pain, robin M
