Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms (Page 52)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I'm trying to wean myself off the Fentanyl patch. I went from 75 micro-gms to 50 now I'm on 25. Having a problem and not sure it is related to the decrease in the med. It's been 20 days on the 25 micro-gm and I'm going crazy. I need to keep rocking, moving in any way b/c my body is very restless. Is this a symptom of withdrawal and what do I do? I cannot take it any more.

Hey everyone, hope all is well on the home front. Shannon, I just love to read your post, it puts a smile on my face every time. I love it...Well, I backtrack a bit and now I am at a point that I want to just dig a hole and crawl in and cover my head at least for awhile. I got a strange call from my heart doctor and was told my pacemaker was acting up. Now I have to have a stress test Tuesday morning and I am scared of what I have done to my heart over the years. I could feel the hard pounding that my heart was doing but thought it was just my nerves.....The doctor said no, no, no....That he has never seen anyones pacemaker act the way mine was acting. He said it stopped on occasion and he is scared that it might do this while I'm sleeping and not wake up...Gee thanks doctor, now I'm afraid to go to sleep....Take care everyone...

Attention all who suffer from opiate dependence or withdrawals. there is a natural plant called kratom. it can be purchased online. it binds to opiate receptors. Google it. i used a site called kratomking. i am not advertising, that's just one of many. i purchased the strain called maueng da. please look into it. it gives you an opiate high but that's not why to.take it. it completely takes away withdrawals and has no withdrawals in itself. no more than coffee. it has saved me from.similar circumstances. it doesn't taste good but its exactly like taking percoset but
natural. NOT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. just start off with a teaspoon

Check out Duffy's in Napa! They do seem to be missing massage and or acupuncture. If the service is offered it is not mentioned. Now this is what I'm talking about. Unfortunately if I had enough to go there I would get the subsnox or whatever Nutt has mentioned more than once and head over to the Bahamas with a therapist friend if mine. I Wish you all luck, as for me... IM ready to go down AGAIN!!! THANKS for being such great friends to me. It's REALLY nice to be able to at the very least be able to come in HERE and feel welcome!

Thank you for your responses.

I was hit it'll be 4 years in May. Today i felt odd, and noticed somethings not right with me. I do not know if it's the patch not working, my body refuses to let it work correctly, my anxiety is flippin and i almost lost it today... why do these things take place? i was so strong until my dr got his license takin away. I just hurt, feels like im losing my mind... went on vaca but had a hard time relaxing but always feeling the anxiety, worrying about the next day... why! it's hard healing alone... very hard...any advice? do you think i should be on fentanyl? im on that with adavan that they say not to be on, and nuerotin...

Etienne, thanks... I do feel so much better and am going to enforce the new around here. Its a shame the way kids are these days. No respect, no morals. If it is left up to me they will do things around this house. It will make a better person out of them and know that they can't run over me just because I am an old fart. lol That's my new name but I wear it proudly....Life is getting better one day at a time...They may be mad at me now but they will thank me later when they are cleaning up their own house, I am a good teacher....I hope. I hope it lasts...lol (My dad was a old fart but he installed good qualities in all us kids even if I learned late in life)

Hey everyone....Hope ya'll had a good Easter. Mine ws good, went to Church and then just took the rest of the day to rest. Well, I made everyone mad yesterday. I made everyone get out of the bed at 11a.m. in the morn. This consist of three teens and a 40 year old daughter....I'm so tired of doing all the housework and cooking. My daughter works third at the hospital and thinks that she has to sleep all day on the days that she is off. Mind you, she works 6 on 7 off, and them 7 days she sleeps all day and lets me correct her kids and clean and cook for her and hers. Well, this is ending. The 15year old granddaughter is going to learn to wash her own cloths, she changes 3 times a day, so she can wash all them changes herself. The 18 year old boy is going to start mowing the grass again like he use to, I can't do that anymore. He has gotten so lazy since his mother started working. The 12 year old boy is going to stay off the computer, that he stays on all day after school, and get busy helping in some way. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my family living with me and I needed them so much when I was so sick and thought I was going to die, but enough is enough....I CAN NOT DO ALL OF THIS ANYMORE....Oh they were so ill when I woke them but I told them they were not going to hurt my feeling today because of all the hollering and fussing about getting out of the bed...Sorry everyone but I had to get this off my chest....I feel so much better even after everyone sat and watched me clean yesterday. At least they were up out of the bed. And today IS a better day. They tipped toed around while they were getting ready for school and let me sleep....LOLOLOL. I think the change is coming on, Yea!!!!! Love everyone....taking one day at a time...

Hey ya all, just checking in so you know I am still hanging in there. Lol everytime I say that she panics. I have an inversion table in the middle of my living room. It KINDA helps. The rope that I don't have does look good though. I'm now 50 mg that I spread along 5 days. I'm lucky I can cut them to break it down. Most can't because of the pouch liquid patch. The withdrawals are much more minimal now. Been in bed 2 days now. The holidays are brutal for me.
Nanny. I too have a family with more hate than love. You can pick your friends you can pick your friends nose but you can't pick your family. Little buggars glad your all still here.

Hi Ang
There are several of us on here that has gone through this and like me want to be there for you as you go through this.
It will get better, take each day as it comes. The side effects are rough and tough at times but be patient and drink lots of fluids. Preferably water.
This hell will pass. I thought like you and nuttynanny and so many others. I considered myself strong I cried,
My stomach felt like I was on a roller coaster the anxiousness, the constant pain in my joints I never had before, diarrhea, I couldn't eat. I definitely couldn't
sleep. I hated to be around people, I didn't like myself, I kept saying, why me? I blamed everyone I could think
of especially God. Now, I still have the problems I did before the patch but at lease I can think clearer.
That patch is not foe everyone and Im so sick of these doctors giving it out like it's aspirin.
You WILL be fine because u took time to find this site like the rest of us.
B strong and keep in touch. You're among friends.

Hey Ang Clucas, God I feel for you so much. I wish I could take away all that you are going through. I went through all of the things you are having now so many times that I know I never want to go back to that. I think I can handle the pain more than the withdrawals that you get from the pain meds. I haven't heard from to many people since I shared that pain meds sent me to prison but Oh well, I will get over this also. I just want people to know what will happen when you get addicted and don't know what else to do. I know noone inntentionally gets addicted but that is the way you get when pain meds make you feel worse than before you started taking them, and then you have to have them to make the pain from withdrawals go away. Its just a crazy circle. I wish I had my life back to the way it was before I started taking them. Maybe one day.......

Hey all, God I thought my family was the only family that yelled at each other. They yell to get through everyone else yelling...I hide in my bedroom, I have my computer setting next to my bed and a small refriderator next to it so I don't have to go out except to use the bath. Life seems to be better that way. I'm not in the center of all this craziness and I can kinda escape. I want ya'll to know that for 8 years I was in prison and if it wasn't for drugs it was drug related. Sucks right....I never meant to get addicted but I did. I stayed clean for 12 years and was miserable with pain so I thought I could handle a little pain medication. I did good for about a year and then I started going down and knew that I had to do something. I know that I have not been on anything in some time except Suboxone and I know that I can never take anything unless I am on my deathbed. I'm sorry I didn't tell everyone this when I first started chatting in this forum but I was scared no one would want to converse with me. You still may not talk to me now. I didn't mean for my life to end up like this but this is what drugs do for you. When you first start taking pain meds life is grand but when it becomes a have to then things start to get screwed up in your head and all you do is chase the feeling that you got when you first started to take them. I know that most of my pain I caused and then I don't think I cause the cancer part but I let drugs mess my organs up to were the cancer was a walk in the park. It's sad that a 57 year old would be doing the things that I do, but I am paying a high price for the abuse. I guess I'm rambling but they tell me that is a sign of old age.....living one day at a time....love ya'll

Daniel
I have had four surgeries to my L4,L5 and S1. and I'm still in pain. Please get off the patch. It's very addictive and the side effects younger experiencing will get worse. When u stop the withdrawals will be tough. Inwas also on Ambien and although it makes you sleep, sometimes you have weird dreams and occasionally you do strange stuff in your sleep and not know it.
I also had unusual pain when I was on the patch. My joints hurt more and at first I didnt think it could be the patch but the narcotics in the patch are brutal.
You haven't been on the patch long so when you stop give it about 4-6 weeks to get out of your system.
Read some of the older messages from folks on the patch. You'll learn a lot. More than you would from your doctor.
Shannon, if arguing is love my family has a ton of it because they yell all day. I wish I had a built-in mute button. :)
