So, my father had a bad accident while working for the Royal Australian Air Force and it badly affected his knees... to the point that he will need both knees replaced, but he can't get them done right away because he is too young and needs to wait into his sixties before it can be done (about a decade in other words.) so the doctors prescribed him Fentanyl 25mg patches... which was two years ago and now every time we visit a doctor to ask about his health he gets given more drugs.
This is what he is currently on;
Fentanyl patches - 75mg (the patch is replaced every 2-3 days.)
Jurnista - 8mg/16/mg/32mg
Palexia - 50mg/150mg
Andepra - 60mg
Imrest - 7.5mg
Avanza - 3mg
Alepam - 30mg
Paxam - 500mg
Lyrica - 300mg
Naproxen - 1000mg
Tramadol SR - 100mg
The doctor that my father is seeing has tried taking him off the Fentanyl and onto other painkillers, these have always had really bad reactions (hallucinations, pain and vomiting.) almost a hour or two after taking them.
OK, what i want to know is 1) what is most of this stuff? 2) What will this stuff be doing to him, internally as well as mentally/emotionally? 3) can he actually get off this stuff when the time comes for him to get the knee replacements?
Thanks for your help, if you need me to elaborate or anything, please ask.
