Side Effects
Increased constipation. No dental issues, no addiction, no high, just less pain. Only complaint is short duration, but it’s just a property of Fentanyl – cleared out by liver quickly. Pain relief starts fast, but for hour or less (I’m VERY tolerant of opioids)…IMO, addiction reports are way overblown. There’re always people w/ high addiction potential, but it doesn’t mean it’ll hook everyone, as some say. To say it’s only OK for terminal patients, when addiction is a minor issue, is ludicrous.
Additional
Thoughts
Very few patients using Actiq ever have addiction problems (compulsive use, multi scripts, lying for more, etc). Addiction will always be problem for a few patients, so docs must assess potential and monitor compliance & proper use. Patients still developing addiction should be helped. It shouldn’t mean NO patients should be allowed Actiq…Saying it’s 80x stronger than morphine is absurd; Fentanyl dose is reduced for that reason! Actiq has 0.2mg to 1.6mg (only half gets in the blood), compared to 20mg morphine tablets, easily taken in multiples. IOW, Fentanyl’s cut back proportional to its strength, so it’s about the strength of morphine doses. Saying it’s 80x more powerful without saying there’s about a hundred times less inside is VERY misleading!...I don't want anyone harmed by medications – each case is tragic. Still, we’d do society better by focusing on meds doing most harm to the most people first. Actiq wouldn't make it onto even long lists of those! Cost, OTOH, is outrageous!
