Experiences with

Urogesic-Blue

I’ve been on Durogesic Patches 50-75mcg for over 10yrs now. Take OralMorph for break through pain or when withdrawing from Patches in last day before changing patch. My Rheumy wants me to come off Opioids. He’s going to try referring to Poisons Unit to get help from them. I’m just worried what do

I found a lot of the medication gave me cotton wool head or hang over symptons. I eventually got given durogesic patches which for me were life changing as it meant that i could

I have just been informed by my G.P & Local Health Board that they intend changing me from my normal Durogesic fentanyl patches to something called matrifen patches. Reason give is that this is a cost effective switch and that money saved can be used in other ways to benefit myself and other patients
