Ann Marie,
That's strange because of all the meds I've been on, my husband too wants me
off the Actiq. I don't know what it is...maybe it changes me in some subtle
way. I know I'm more forgetful when I'm on it, but I take the Actiq 600
micrograms (mcg) every 4 to 6 hours. Otherwise, the pain is too much to
take. I have, however, been able to wean down to every 12 when I've been
doing pretty good. The only problem is that the Actiq is especially
physically addicting and one of the hardest to get off of for the physical
symptoms of withdrawal. It gives me a severe headache, vomiting for two to
three days, dehydration, severe anxiety attacks, deep depression, and the
craving is overwhelming. Maybe that's why my husband hates it so much!
