I didnt know neurontin came in a patch. That medicine is used to make the mind trick the body into not feeling muscle pain. I take it in liquid form 2x per day.

Same goes for morphine, I wasnt aware it came in patch form. Ive had the fentanyl patch which is a huge help. It comes in 25, 50, 75, 100, 150mg. This is a medication to be very very careful with. Do not suddenly stop taking it, your mom must be weaned off it when she no longer needs it. Patches cant be bent, folded, or cut or the dosage could be off and she could get a much higher dose than its intended to be. She should also not take very hot showers as extra medication is released from the heat. Im not talking about normal temp. showers, Im talking scalding hot ones are the type to not take. Make sure you are very careful with disposing of the wrapping and old patch. A pet could get a hold of it and it is too potent for a small animal or child. The best thing about pain patches is that the meds last for 72 hrs so that you dont have to constantly take medication. Only need pain meds for breakthru pain.

Its good to hear she isnt in pain any longer and you dont have to push her to take pain meds now. She will adjust to the neurontin. Thats one medicine that has worked very very well for me.

Keep up the good work
