Fentanyl And Percocet !!

Good Morning, I need help with this situation. I also have deterioation of my spine.I was sent to a Pain specialist. I was put on the generic Percocet 10/325 for 2 years . I was then changed to Fentanyl 50 mg. and taken off of the Percocet completely. I started feeling dizzy, my blood pressure went up, I started shaking, I could continue to go on. I noticed when I take my zanax I felt better, but it keeps coming back. I believe I'm going through withdrawal from stopping the Percocet. I am really scared, and need to know if this is possible? and what will I need to do? I need help because I am really scared and do want this to stop.

Hello, Marsha! How are you?

Fentanyl is much stronger than the Oxycodone in the Percocet, so it isn't likely that you're experiencing withdrawals. However, it could be causing some side effects, since it is a very strong narcotic.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Have things improved at all, yet?
