Kadian

Hi All,

I haven't posted in a while, but I have been reading all the threads. Great job to the forum moderators, you all are great! I feel like I am really getting somewhere now. I have such a fantastic team of pain specialists that I am seeing and I finally and feeling some hope. But at any rate, I was wondering if anyone out there is using Kadian for pain? I was using Tylenol #3, but it wasn't handling my constant pain, just my breakthrough pain. I took my first one tonight, and to be honest. I don't feel like I took anything for pain. Anyone else out there on time release pain medication?

Thanks

Renee

Been on Kadian for the last 3 years and am real happy with the results that have come with this medication. It is a long acting pain medication and hopefully will give you the relief that you are looking for. I am on 200mg twice a day which has at least curbed my pain a bit and can't imagine without this medication what it would be like. I do so hope that yours will be just as good.

On another note; I know a few posts have spoken about checking your meds in front of the pharmacist and I did not do that this time which I am kicking myself for. My Robaxin it seems was short this month as they replaced or inadvertently put percocet instead of Robaxin into the container (about 10 pills). I am going to hollar at them today about this and find out what happened with this. I know that there are new faces at the pharmacy the last two times I have been there and I am wondering if this is why I was shorted the meds.

anyway, good luck with the Kadain kitty and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
