You know what, I agree with Gary's post wholeheartedly on this. Had it not been for the advice on the fentanyl patch that I got here, I might have jeprodized my husband big time. I might add that I also read the drug fact sheet and warnings with a magnifying glass. Had I not done that I would NOT have known to remove the patch when John's temp hit 101.6 one morning. I don't understand why the Docs who write the script and the pharmacist who fills it don't sit the patient and caregiver down and go over the safety considerations.
Delia, I hope you cool off and continue putting your love and concern for Charlie foremost. It is doubtful that you will find as much knowledge and caring anywhere as is available to you here. Amy
