Good morning Jim,
I have severe memory issues so I only take medication once a day. When I’m hospitalized and tell them I take all my medicine once a day it usually weirds them out but it works for me. I was wondering if you had ever discussed with your doctor your memory issues regarding your mid-day doses? Perhaps an extended-release version would be a better option. Because of my memory issues I was on the fentanyl patch which is changed every three days. That could be another option for you.

@jakedduck1 I've never asked about fentanyl. I'll put it in my list of things to discuss with the doctors.

Starting today, I'm taking 30mg in the morning and 30mg at bedtime, the same as several other meds. That will be less complicated. If I think of it, I'll take the mscontin a couple of hours before bedtime so it will have had some time to kick in.
