yes
No it belongs to the family of opioids (narcotics) such as morphine. Fentanyl is commonly used with a benzo such as versed.
My doctors have had me on both fentanyl patches, fentanyl citrate suckers, and oxycodone for years. There has been no problems.
It is not safe to drive after taking Fentanyl, Versed (midazolam), or Propofol, as these medications can significantly impair your coordination, judgment, and reaction times. It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after the effects of these drugs have worn off, but you should consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. Always prioritize safety and avoid driving until you are fully alert and capable.
I started out with 1000mg of ketamine, 25 mg promethazine (phenergan) and a 180mg transdermal fentanyl patch. After tripping sack for about 5 hours in a state of wasted, immobilized confusion (Yet far far removed from the broken heart I was escaping), I had had enough, so I took some versed to pull the proverbial "E-brake". I don't remember a thing after taking that. Like a big hole in my memory.
Yes, VERSED is a benzo :)
No, "well versed" is not hyphenated when used as a phrase, such as in "She is well versed in the subject." However, when used as a compound adjective before a noun, it is often hyphenated as "well-versed," for example, "He is a well-versed expert."
Versed has 136 pages.
Versed was created in 2009-02.
The ISBN of Versed is 978-0819568793.
There is no average dose - all fentanyl patients must first be "opiate tolerant", meaning they are already tolerant to the effects of opiate medications. Most, like myself, only start using it when other meds (Oxycodone, Morphine, etc.) aren't effective and long-term pain control is needed. Initial dosages are based on the patient's current medication. All opiates have a morphine-equivalency rating, as does Fentanyl. The patient's current med doses are converted its morphine equivalent, adjusted for increased pain control if necessary, then matched with one of the standard Fentanyl doses available as an initial dose. Dosage adjustment goes from there. Most initial doses are low - this is because the Morphine-Fentanyl equivalency charts are purposefully kept on the low end for patient safety considerations.
Fentanyl is the generic name of the drug. One brand name for fentanyl is Duragesic.
There is no fentanyl in a lidocaine patch. It is a lidocaine patch not a fentanyl patch.
