Waismann Method® was created and named after its founder, addiction specialist Clare Waismann M-RAS, SUDCC II, and it is ONLY available in So. California. Please do not be fooled by other centers trying to associate their similar name with our success. We do not condone unsubstantiated promises of overnight cures or unlicensed and uninsured doctors providing medical care.

Duragesic Side Effects

Duragesic side effects can commonly include constipation, nausea and sedation. Duragesic is the brand name for fentanyl, a very potent opiate medication used for pain relief. It comes in transdermal patch form and is used to treat breakthrough cancer pain that can’t be controlled by other medications. It is also available by prescription only. Furthermore, Duragesic is a powerful tool in the battle for pain relief, but has a high potential for abuse and addiction.

Side effects and potential risks are on the drug’s label so patients know exactly how to take Duragesic, to avoid complications. For example, these risks can include drug interactions, allergic reactions, physical and psychological dependence, overdose, withdrawal and the need for medically-monitored detox. Patients should only take Duragesic according to the doctor’s directions. More importantly, misusing it or abusing it in any way can have dangerous, even fatal, consequences. Taking the drug in combination with alcohol, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, other narcotic medications and some over-the-counter preparations can magnify the side effects.

Constipation and Other Possible Side Effects with Duragesic

Many patients on Duragesic therapy report sluggish bowel movements. For many, constipation is a relatively mild and temporary condition that can be easily treated. However, Duragesic can interfere with normal elimination by relaxing the smooth muscle in intestines and preventing them from contracting and expelling waste. With regular use of Duragesic, stools can become rock hard, blocking the bowels. In severe cases, bowels can rupture, leading to sepsis or death. It may take new patients’ bodies a few days to adjust when first starting a prescription.

Side effects can include the following:

sedation
euphoria
dizziness
fatigue
depression
tremors
sleeplessness
anxiousness
flu-like symptoms
upset stomach
dry mouth
pupil constriction
itching
hallucination
delirium
sweating
muscle and bone pain
confusion
extreme irritability
muscle spasms

Additionally, more severe side effects can include:

severe respiratory depression
confusion or stupor
coma
clammy skin
circulatory collapse
cardiac arrest

In conclusion, any sign of these should prompt immediate medical attention.

"A dear friend underwent rapid detox at the Waismann Method and all we can say is “THANK YOU”. My friend had (for years) been in a seemingly endless cycle of rehab and relapse. Even at some of the top rehabs, he still seemed to find his way back to opiates. I’m so grateful to say that it’s been almost a full year since his treatment at the Waismann Method and he is better than ever! He is finally himself again. Thank you to the caring, knowledgeable, warm and patient staff that supported and assisted my friend from start to finish! It was a blessing that we heard about the Waismann Method - our only wish is that we tried it sooner!"

"I have heard first hand from people who have gone through the Waismann rapid detox and they said it changed their life. They no longer felt like drug addicts and were treated like patients. Thank you Dr. Lowenstein and staff for all you do!"

"I'm so grateful that I came across the Waismann Institute. It saved a family members life and I will forever be thankful to all the hard work and dedication of the entire staff there! Well worth EVERY penny! The therapist at the Waismann Method was amazing. The breakthroughs that were made were tremendous. The staff encourages you along the way and were incredibly patient with our family and all the questions we had. They really care about the individual seeking treatment because they were always there - every step of the way!
