Dear Suzhannah , I am so very pleased that you have found an effective pain killer in Fentanyl patches . However , having searched online for Fentanyl patches , I was somewhat surprised at some of the side effects this opiate based medication can have for patients with certain health conditions or susceptibilities . Like all medications , manufacturers notices should be read fully and with caution , but always as prescribed by doctors . However , I am pleased for you , Suzhannah , that the patches are relieving your terrible pain . xxx

Hi am the worst person in the world for supersensitivity allergy etc Am allergic to so many meds and react badly to so much, however, re opiate meds adverse effect There is a reason that meds have to carry warnings of side effects that may or may not happen and it's mainly to protect drugs companies from being sued.
As well as fentanyl pain patch I have pethidine & codeine meds, the actually pain is so terrible and crushing that no other meds will do and apart from a little constipation I have not suffered any side effects at all and believe me as I said if it was to happen I would be the one to suffer them.
I have emphysema stage 1and bronchial asthma for years yet do not suffer any breathing difficulties which can be prominent in opiate meds.
Unless you try a product you will never know and provided you work closely with your MD or Specialist
All the best x
