What Are The Symptons Of Withdrawl With Fentanyl Patches

I've been on 150mcg Fentanyl patches Q48 for over 8 yrs. 7 months ago we reduced it to 125 mcg Q48 i only had the chills for a few days. 6 weeks ago we lowered again to 100 mcg. and I am having trouble sleeping, i cant turn my mind off and i cant stop talking? And for the first time I am really feeling the pain in my neck & shoulders. My work comp. insurance wants me off them asap. What can I take for the chronic pain? I hate pills.

Those can be normal withdrawal effects, you may also experience nausea, diarrhea and dizziness.

There isn't anything else available that's as strong as Fentanyl.

Learn more Fentanyl details here.

But there is a new patch available called Butrans that contains the active ingredient Buprenorphine.

You may want to discuss it with your doctor and see if they'll cover it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
