Hello, Jenn! How are you?
Fentanyl is a very potent narcotic, over 80 times stronger than Morphine, so you stopping abruptly will likely cause some severe withdrawal effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, nervousness and insomnia.
It would be much safer and easier to do a gradual taper, which may involve other medications.
Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?
Just like most prescription drugs fentanyl is is under the controlled substance act witch means it is addictive, after 2 months of continues use if you quite cold turkey it could force you into withdrawl. If your currently on another prescription pain med that may reduce the withdrawl symptoms or it may allow you to not have any withdrawl symptoms at all. I hope this helps you!
