"I have had this medicine when I have had colonoscopies and endoscopies. Also when I had two total knee replacements. It is awesome and causes me absolutely no problem. Keeps a person comfortable and I have had no addictive reactions to it."

"One time use. Was given IV Fentanyl and Versed together for a colonoscopy. I woke shortly after the procedure and never experienced discomfort. I walked out and was driven home an hour later. I was feeling normal the next day."

"The patches wore out usually in 24 hours or less. I would go into withdrawal symptoms prior to the next patch. I had very bad thoughts, pain, shakes and severe breathing problems which seemed to be a side effect. Not a good experience, I am trying to go cold turkey to get off it. I felt way better on 3-4 Vicodin than 75 mg release fentanyl."

"Was administered fentanyl during endoscopy and stopped breathing once during procedure and once in recovery. Still woozy two days after having had fentanyl; also perspire after any mild exertion. The drug seems to not agree with me at all; better to go through the rages after Demerol."

Pain and burn from that shot !!!!"

"I used this for a colonoscopy and did not work. I had discomfort and they increased the dosage. I woke up later and was told they had to cancel the procedure. I have had a previous colonoscopy without issue and several twilight anesthesia procedures."

"This was given to me in ambulatory surgery. I felt absolutely nothing from it, no sleepiness, dizziness or altered consciousness. It was if the doctors injected saline, which I suspect might have been the case. There really isn't any reason to complain other than the bill for one dose was over $1,000."

Sublimaze (fentanyl) "Not once but twice woke up during 2 separate procedures for colonoscopies, with doctors trying to force air out. Drug is way too mild."

"This is not a weak drug. If the dose is high enough, this should block pain. It did for me when being transported by ambulance with a humorous spiral fracture - 100 mcg 2x's via injection."
