Dear Friends, I need advice. I just started on 25 duragesic patch about 11 days ago. I was a bit weavy. I take this on top of 2400 mg of nurontin and 20 mg. celexa. I went to drive for the first time today to go a short distance to a docs appt. Well jimminy, as I drove I kept on thinking, I should not be driving a car. The patch has given me wonderful relief...still have nasty break thru with activity. I still need the nuerontin too as I can tell exactly when it's time to take the next one if ya know what I mean. I have been sleeping or trying to sleep lots. Do you eventually get used to it or am I in another catch 22...I feel good enough to drive but feel like a drunk driver.... I would be greatful to hear of your experience and any advice you may offer. Love to all and peace in the New Year, Dawn
