Fentanyl Patch Withdrawals

I'm being weaned off of 25mcg of fentanyl patches. The doctor gave me five 12.5 patches to wean me off of the 25mcg patch and told me when I felt it was the right time to take it off, to go ahead and do so. Now I'm still having withdrawal's. Granted not as bad of one I had when I ran out of the 25mcg. I'm restless and take .5mg of klonopin twice a day and vistril 25mg for break threw panic disorder I have and a slight heaviness and pain in my chest along with headache. I nausea. I've now turned to cannabis to cope with anxiety and nausea. I figure they give to cancer patients to help. Its herbal and non addictive except psychologically. The doctor never said or asked about an alternative for withdrawal. I've read a lot on here and has helped tremendously! I thank you all as and wish you all the best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. God bless all

There really isn't a lot that's going to help, at this point, it's just going to be a matter of time now to let your body adjust and for the withdrawal effects to wear off.

You've already got Klonopin and Benzodiazepines are something that help a lot of people with withdrawal symptoms.

However, the chest pain and heaviness is a bit worrisome. Have you had that checked out?

Google the kratom bible. Kratom is from the coffee family but works on opioid receptors. If anyone is withdrawing I highly suggest that you look into kratom. Never buy from smoke shops or gas stations. Most vendors refer to kratom as tea.
