Fentanyl and nausea

Very high tolerance for medications incl 60mg morphine, 20mg oxycontin 4x day, however, I just cannot seem to tolerate Fentanyl. Have tried it two times in past, both the 25mcg and 50mcg. The first week or so is great, after that the side effects are more than I can tolerate. All of these side effects were extreme and unbearable not just mild. They affected my ability to function and sent me to bed on more than one occasion. Extreme fatigue, nausea, sweating, anxiety and weakness. I felt as though I had a very bad case of the stomach flu. Both occasions I stuck it out for 2-4 weeks till I finally had to quit using it. Any suggestions as to why would appreciated. Some of my side effects aren't even listed in brochure.

Well here goes, I paranoid, cant go to the bathroom a lot of times, sweaty t times, sick at stomach here and there, get cold limbs sometimes. Cant remember short term at all, I honestly forget 1 minute ago , but not all the time, there is long term memory loss, which i really hate, NERVOUSNESS is horrible, stress and anxiety can be very high , unless my life is in an ideal status which is nearly never, I do get flu effects on and off, I must change patches every two days 10 percent of patients must do this, or you get withdrawals, and that is an experience in its own, you get body tremors really bad back aches, all over. nausea, tremors. If you get really hot a sweat because of the enviroment my patch runs out qucker and then you feel like you are about to collpase from to much drugs, its sort of like you get so weak and thirsty you feel like you will drop dead any moment. so avoid hig heated areas for lenghty time. I double cover my patch with clothing if outdoors without a choice.Im aggressive at times and then im often very depressed, a lot of times. Crying spells , stupid stuff i cant control, and Im no wimp so its hard to deal with. Im an ex jarhed so the weakness is character is hard to swallow. However if I didn't wear this patch i couldnt make it through a day without so much pain, that it would be unbearable. I was in the hospital weekly before this patch. I have severe back issues, things that cant be fixed, well thats it in a nutshell, there is more but you can ask me if you want, i have been on the patch for 3.5 years.

I was given 100 mg FENTANYL with Versed for anesthesia / colonoscopy. I am a very healthy 50 yr old female (non-smoker, non-drinker, etc...) with no difficulties or any complications from any (5) surgeries my entire life. Prior to surgery, I had a cold/flu and had been on a few antibiotics (Erythromycin), etc.... which I wrote on my pre-op and told the pre-op nurse. When I woke in recovery, I was too dizzy to lift my head and began vomiting. After the nurse gave me a phenergan shot to make me quit vomiting, I got the heck out of there. After more vomiting that night, I called the GI doctor on call for more presc. meds to make it stop. Regardless, the meds didn't help at all and I fainted. It was necessary for me to go to ER as I was getting worse. My status was urgent in the ER with an extremely low blood pressure (I have normal b/p), heart rate was very low, I was extremely dizzy and vomiting. This was like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. The next morning I was in somewhat decent enough shape to return home but it took me weeks to fully recover from that ordeal with periods of dizziness, nausea and vomiting. I consider this experience very unique for me. I've had surgeries since with no complications or aftermath but of course, the anesthesiologist told me that he would have never used FENTANYL (different doctor, different hospital). FENTANYL did nothing but make a very healthy person going through a routine procedure, extremely sick afterwards. All FENTANYL needs to be recalled.

Was given Fentanyl along with propofol as an induction to general anesthesia and had a horrible and very agitated feeling . I know it was not the propofol as I have had that by itself for another procedure recently.I know it used to cause agitation in the children it was used on in the hospital where I worked.The Fentanyl patches caused this same agitation on my deceased husband.I think it needs to be taken off the market.It caused irregular heart beats on me in the recovery room.
