Based on my research, Fentanyl skin patches may cause side effects such as "pain, burning, tingling, or numbness in the hands or feet".

Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601202.html#side-effects

Does this also describe what you've been experiencing?

It appears to be listed as a "general side effect" of the drug and not necessarily related to withdrawals, although it may very well be what triggered the side effect to manifest.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Fentanyl Details

I hope this info helps!
