 5  Bone pain Few problems initially other than a bit of a "high" the first day of application of a higher dose patch (100 mcg). Very slight constipation but much less than with the likes of OxyContin. However, by the time I'd been on the higher dose for a month I truly noticed a sharp decline in my cognition and felt my brain was becoming like "Swiss Cheese". I found it a superb drug in all honesty for the most part. The patch was great as I didn't have to remember to take a daily dose, and it stayed on even in the shower. I would have absolutely continued on with it if it hadn't been for the cognitive deficits at the higher dose. Thankfully my bone pain subsided naturally within 3 months of my coming off all my narcotics so I didn't need to take it again. F 49 4 months

 2  colonoscopy I became extremely nauseous. Even after taking anti-nausea medication, the nausea lasted for about 8 hours. Given all the horrible reports about Versed, I requested Fentanyl alone for my colonoscopy. I became extremely nauseous midway through the procedure. In the future, I'll find a provider who uses propofol. F 53 1 days
