Does Anyone Know Why Fentanyl Is Being Prescribed for Less Than Horrific Pain?
Question by Anne2: Does anyone know why Fentanyl is being prescribed for less than horrific pain?
Second warning is out from FDA on the Fentanyl skin patch, yet doctors are prescribing it for pain after routine surgery. The side effects, black box warnings would seem to make the use of the drug dangerous.

Because Methadone killed Nancy Garvin’s kid, not Fentanyl and only because HARMD is too busy concentrating on methadone.
And this was a manufacturer problem, people NEED this stuff, the same reason 40 mg Methadone wafers are no longer available. Thanks Nancy you put me and 1,000’s of other straight into the bowels of HELL.
And until you are physically dependent on opiates and know the horrors of opiate withdrawal or the real pain that is 50 times worse because of the absence of these drugs in physically dependent people, than question this. Or ask it again?
Try to be the 1,000’s of people that are on this stuff that would be forced to withdraw off it becuase of the FDA making it illegal. You can bet people would be killing themselves without it because the withdrawal was so bad.
Ambien makes people drive in their sleep, there is a bi-polar med out there that can kill you, it says it right in the Commercial and the FDA will not tell us the long term effects of the crap they put in Big Mac’s, so what?
If you felt 30 seconds of opiate Fentanyl withdrawal you would not be asking this question. It is a logical choice for people that used up all their resources in tablets.
And remember 80 times stronger than morphine means 30 times stronger than Heroin. You try to be forced to get off this stuff? You wouldn’t last a day. You would be in a Methadone clinic in a day. I ASSURE you.
Cigarette’s and alcohol can be the number one killer’s in the world but a drug that actually makes people in chronic pain live and function has got to be questioned. Things happen. And the FDA shoulda put this warning out before the fact. If you rolled a patch in a ball and chewed it, you would be dead in 10 seconds. Do they tell you that?
