So while I think I've seen a lot of odoncitron prescribed first line, sometimes I will start with something more like cloparazine, because it's anti-dopaminergic and I know that that's actually the reason why people oftentimes feel more nauseous- is because of dopamine deficit rather than a serotonin-mediated nausea.
Struggling with the complexities of tapering opioids? In this episode of the Compass Opioid Stewardship Clinical Cases podcast, Dr. Donald Stader and Dr. Rachael Duncan tackle the nitty-gritty of tapering fentanyl and oxycodone. You'll hear about Anne's journey as she and Dr. Stader discuss her tapering progress and make necessary adjustments. After their conversation, the hosts dive into the specifics, offering practical tips to manage withdrawal symptoms and suggesting non-opioid alternatives.
They emphasize the importance of using tools like medication charts or boxes to help patients stay on track with their doses. Communication and building a strong therapeutic alliance are also key themes in this episode, ensuring that patients feel supported throughout their tapering journey. If you're a clinician looking to enhance your skills in opioid management, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can make a real difference in your practice.
