REPORT

Been on Fentanyl patch 25 for about a year and two days ago started Fentanyl patch 12. Since yesterday I have pretty much been coming out of my skin. No sleep last night and can't go to sleep tonight. This afternoon I started getting very dizzy like I have gotten up to fast. The only thing is.......that's not what's happening. I have to sit a few before I get up and when I lay down, I feel so dizzy like I'm going to pass out. Has anyone had anything similar happen?

I'm sorry, that should be Zofran.

Gomartha, maybe you should think about weaning down 12mcgs at a time! Also LYRICA, "commodium", and zothran while weaning down would be most helpful. Don't suffer needlessly.

If you need to..get yourself to the emergency room and simply tell them what's happening. They will help you!

I'll be stopping my 50 mcg fentanyl patches on Friday night when my last one wears out. What can I expect for withdrawal, and what time frame? I will be taking norco 10/325's to help with withdrawal. Any more advice?

Go to your pcp or emergency room you could have a heart attack if your body is wesk.Your pcp should be able to help till you find another p.m.dr.Don' t suffer or like I said go to the e.r. no one should havexto be in pain when there are drs out there.They say an oath do no harm but some do and others do not.

I'm on 25mg fentanyl for 5 years and am stopping today with the help of 10mg of Oxyneo 2x per day. I'm planning on leaving my 3 day old patch on during the start of the Oxyneo in hopes of not having too much discomfort. Has anyone had any luck doing this?

I have been on pain pills for about two years, then switched to the fentanyl 25mcg pain patch,I still have chronic pain in my left rib and spine, but my new pcp and I decided that I should just get off the fentanyl pain patch. The pain center who ordered the patches wanted to wean me down off of them, but my pcp interfered and made me just take off the patch and suffer with pain and withdrawals, on top of that I have a urinary tract infection. So lets just say that I am totally miserable. I can't do much,I feel so weak and of course hurting really bad because of my chronic pain hadn't been fixed yet and I still am suffering til they can find something non narcotic to give me or unless they can fix what I have wrong with my rib and spine. I have had some of the withdraws, the vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, irritable, restless, don't feel able to doing anything. I went down in patch to the 12mcg, just as I put on that second 12mcg patch my pcp had me take it off, even though I was supposed to finish all ten 12mcg patches to be able to fully wean off but because of the pcp interfering and making me stop without being fully weaned off, I already was experiencing some withdraws just with the drop in dose, but now the withdrawals are worse from not being able to properly wean down. I just hope that this doesn't last long. My chronic pain is enough to go thru,I can't deal with withdraws too, plus trying to take care of my child feeling like this, it really does make it hard. Has anyone else had something similiar happen to them? How long did it take til you felt like yourself again and til the withdrawals subsided?

up to a week it will last and it will start a day or two once it is out of your system or almost out of your system. the withdraw is worse the first four days

i was on 25 mcg fen patches for chronic pain for about 15 months, after surgery doc was dragging his feet getting me off - probably because he was filling the RX and getting the payments. Next appt is 30 days away. So, i decreased my 7.5 oxy 3x day, to just 1/2 pill 2x a day over a four week period. Was also taking soma 3x a day with the oxy. Then stopped taking the fen patch entirely, and upped the oxy back to 7.5 3x a day, plus the soma. it has been a week and no major wd. in another 3 or 4 days, i am going to start cutting the oxy to 1/2 pill 3x day,then twice a day, then 1x a day then off. In the meantime, i am making sure my diet includes all the proper food groups (not just meat), vitamins, 8 hours of sleep and walking 2 miles a day.

Thanks for ur info. Several yrs ago I stopped fiorcet w codeine (on it for 4 yrs) and it took about that long w that. I figured since I'm titrating down and have been on a very low dose it won't be bad. Dr. Doesn't have much to say, most don't realize or think well experience anything. I called the manufacturer and they said about 8-10 days. Bah!

Yes, everyone is different, so it really makes it hard to say, because it is going to vary.

I stopped heavy doses of Oxycodone and Morphine cold turkey, after being on them for about 6 or 7 years for pain management and my withdrawal symptoms lasted for about a month.

Hopefully the Valium will help. Has your doctor given you any other advice?
