Dan was on the Duragesic Patch. He started at 25mg. and went up to 100...you can go to at least 150. He definitely had constipation problems that took some time to get under control. He took Oxycodene and Oxycotin. He took Protonix for acid reflux and stomach upset. Seems like the patch was one of the meds that helped the most.
God bless and take care,
Debbie
