Robin did you have any luck using oxys to come off the fentanyl? I had been doing illegal fentanyl and I have just quit after bringing myself down from 10 a day to 1. I am almost 3 days clean off of the fentanyl but I have been taking 2 oxyneo 60s perday and haven't really felt any withdrawals. Am I just prolonging the inevitable or can I drop the oxyneos and have minimal withdrawals from the fentanyl. Keep in mind I have only done the oxyneos for 3 days.

Hello, I have been taking 100mg of Fentanyl every 48 hours. So I had a couple times where I could not afford the medication because of lack of insurance. So my withdrawals began right away and lasted pretty much a month long. The anxiety is one of the worst symptoms with your body tensing up continually for quit a few days and having seizures for a few days, which require me to be hospitalized and put into a coma for 3 days just to get over that hump. That took about approx 10-14 days for leg spasms to go away. My best advice for anyone at any prescription level is that you should come down off of this med very slowly. I pray for all of those poor people out there that have to deal with particular meds, with such severe withdrawals, not nice at all.

I have been weaning off of my Fentanyl for a while now. I was on 100 mcg and am now down to 50 mcg. When it comes time to change the patch, which I am changing every 48 hours, I can feel withdrawal starting. I will be on the 25 mcg patches in a couple of days. I have found that the Lyrica helps greatly. I was without it for a week and was miserable. I am looking to stop the patches altogether over the New Years weekend, and also stopping my Oxycodone 40 mg/day at the same time. Do you know if 3 days will be enough for the worst of the withdrawal, as I am also on the Lyrica? My Lyrica dosage is 75 mg three times a day. My pain management clinic is terrible to their patients, and I want to be able to go in on 1/7, hand them my meds, and walk back out the door. I just need to be able to get back to work after the 3-day weekend. I really want to be off of this stuff, and I DO NOT want to go back to my pain management doctor.

KAT # 47,

I'm sorry to inform you that at the dosages and combinations stated SEVERE WITHDRAWL WILL LAST FAR MORE THEN 3 DAYS. Weaning from 25 mcg. to zero even with oxys and lyrica will prove very challenging from long term use of these meds and can sometimes precipitate for up to a month or more. MANY EXPERIENCE PAWS as well. It's highly recommend a qualified specialist wean you down with an appropriate down ward titration protocol because of the risk of seizures and cardiac arrest just to name a few.Especially for those with chronic underlying medical conditions. To avoid these risks please seek professional assistance in this endeavor. Good luck

I strongly agree don't start Lyrica unless you are ready to lose your life as you know it, really I feel like I just woke up from a 10+ year coma.....

Hello, it's my first time on this site. My friend received some oxy 30 but they were actually pressed with fentanyl. I've also been taking it for like 2 weeks. At first just half, then one, then i moved up to 2. Then i was trying to taper off myself but i got robbed of mine so I'm wondering how much longer ill be feeling this horrible? It's been 4 and a half days now.

Withdrawal will start about day 5 after removing patch. Ask your doctor to put you on low dose oxcycodone to help. I was on 100mcg. Fentynyl patches for years. I decided to get off and took suboxen to soon and believe me, you don't want to feel that kind of withdrawal. 100% Highest withdrawal. Dr put me on oxcycodone for 8 days. No more suboxen and I'm fine. I did all my withdrawal at once. But I know when I would take off my 100 mcg. patch. It was 5days before withdrawal really starting hitting hard. 10 mg oxcycodone every 4 hours for 8 days and I'm like new.

Re: Gomartha (# 12)

Hi, I believe that anyone coming off of any type of mg. or mcg. of addictive pills should be in a program being weaned off by the medical Dr. or Nurse. I don't believe, no matter how many times we have done it ourselves we've won the challenge of total detox. Although, I have done it. It took me around two to two and 1/2 years. I could have done it seriously in a shorter time but I wasn't serious enough until the end. When I finally realized I didn't have a habit anymore, I just forgot to take them and it was wonderful because I started finding other things to peak my interests. I still am. I found a whole new world. Look around. Smell, look, touch, taste ,see and when you redo these things this time, feel......................Find a precious interest. Don't give up. It will take more than a day, a month, maybe a year...............

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?

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!
