shiva34 Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 has anyone experienced confusion and slurred speech while on the duragesic patch? My mom was on the patch for the last few days and became very confused and her speech is slurred. thanks for any info you all might have Quote
Donna G Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 This is possible. Especiallly with older people . It is a narcotic going into her through the skin. Is she getting pain relief? What dose is she getting, it comes in different doses. If it is really bad perhaps a smaller dose if it still keeps her comfortable would give her less confusion Donna G Quote
Fall54 Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 My brother was on the patch (75 mg) from dx on and he never had a problem with it but the dosage for your Mom may be too high or it also may be something she can not tolerate. God Bless, Jane Quote
Guest Deb Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 I am on that patch and have none of the things you mentioned. Maybe too strong for your mom. Deb Quote
