Increase the dose...

I just got off the phone with my doctor in reference to the dosage on the Kadian. While it works, I was still having a bit of discomfort, especially during the last few hours of the dose. Since this is the first time we have used Kadian we started with a lower dose which left room to move up.

It was a quick call but I always feel like the kid in trouble when I do have to call him. I would think that he has some time built in to his appointment schedule to accommodate calls like mine but who knows. Anyway, he told me to go ahead and double the dose and to come see him when it is time to refill the Kadian. Like always he is a great doc. I am not so sure what we would do or how we would deal with this if we had our old doctor still....
