Air Travel ?

[C82021]

I have Rotigtine 1 mg once daily patches (took one a week ago to see if side effects) that I plan to use for overseas air travel. (Currently on 350mg pregabalin}

Question: At what point should I take the patch? If I have to take it say 24 hrs in advance then should I take another the day of travel?

It takes awhile to reach full effectiveness but by then you would have withdrawal effects coming off it. But I would suggest 24 hours before your flight and then again the day of your flight and you won't have any withdrawal effects.

Im confused, I'll have withdrawal effects with one or two time use??

[SueJohnson in reply to C82021]

No I meant if you used it long enough to have full effectiveness which would be 2 to 3 weeks.

Ok. In my opinion and trying to help u. A lot of ppl take it personal get upset etc. simply spoken for u. Air travel does not req.this med ur talking about. U need opioids to surviv long air travel. Myself anything more than 2 hrs. Boy nothing works but 100 mg tramadol makes miracle for me

I agree with you but the problem is doctors are more likely to be willing to prescribe a DA then they are opioids.

[Niewiem in reply to SueJohnson]

that is true, obtaining opioids is tricky, how I get is asked the doc for 20 pills only for specifically for travel, see if that works, also ppl order from india

[SueJohnson in reply to Niewiem]

How do you order from India?
