Hey Nicki,

Kelly was on Duragesic patch, increased from 25 at first to 150. He also had liguid dilaudid which I would give through the PEG for break through pain. He had it alot the first month after treatment. He did have some constipation, but was really able to control it with stool softeners. When he was ready to come off the pain med, against my advice he tried to just stop. He had severe withdrawal, so he ended up back on it and tappering off, which is how it is supposed to be done. He really had no problem getting off from there.
Keeping you in my prayers!
Julie
