2017 Discussion Fentynal Wothdrawl

I'm 69 years old and have been on 50 Fentanyl patch for about a year. I've gone down to 37 and having stomach cramps headache's anxiety and will soon be on 25. I'm scared the anxiety is awful. I have no family and I'm wondering if anybody else out there is suffering the same thing?

Fentanyl is a very potent opiate, so any tapering should be done on a very slow schedule. How fast have you been doing it? Is your doctor setting up the tapering schedule for you?

Since it is so potent, it is normal to experience some withdrawal symptoms, when tapering, or stopping it. They may include nausea, headache, rebound pain, anxiety, depression, muscle spasms, diarrhea, and more.
