This happened to me with a pain management doctor. He had me up tp six oxy a day and fentanyl patches. I have severe back issues and when I told him the epidurals he gave me did not work, he sent me a dismissal letter stating there was nothing more he could do for me. I was so angry, I tossed my pills and took the patch off. I went through hell and it took about a month and a half to feel human again. My anger at him fueled me to get off everything. I did not know I would go through withdrawl. I tool mega doses of vitmains. B-12 for energy- take up to 5,000 units a day if you have to. Vitamin D-3 for pain and helps with depression. Mulitivitamins. Prenatal are good beause they are loaded with everything but Centrum is good. Hot Epsom salt baths too!
Hope this helps and good luck you are doing good!
shia
That's sick and awful!!!! Your doctor put you on it,then called you a dope and told you to go to rehab??? Just makes me despise doctors even more!! They make us addicts prescribing this shitt and not telling us all we need to know,then turn on us when we become addicted and treat us like junkies!! When will it stop!! >:(
Holly crap. I was prescribed Fentanyl over a year ago and used it for one month for sever back pain when the hydrocodone wasn't working anymore. I didn't have any pain but was loosing my mind. Suicidal thoughts and all I can describe is delusional thinking. I wound up I. The hospital thinking I was having a heart attack. They said it was only anxiety and prescribed nerve pills. I didn't take them and 12 hours after being released was back in the hospital thinking I was dieing and sever belly pain. It was only then I realized when they asked about my last be that I hadn't pooped in about 10 days. So they said I was only constipated and having anxiety and more pills. I went to my primary care as directed he said I was just a dope head even tho I wasn't taking the meds other than going back to the hydrocodone and not using the Fentanyl. When I asked what to do he said since I was a drug addict I needed to check myself in a rehab. Well I did. No one ever told me the he'll I was going thru with the crazy thoughts could be from the Fentanyl. This info here has helped me to see I wasn't crazy when I thought it was all because of the Fentanyl. I would rather be in debilitating pain. Than ever have the side affects of the Fentanyl. Thank God I survived and didn't listen to what it was doing to me. It's the devil in a patch.
If you have been taking 100Mmg before stop cold turkey have you're Dr. prescribe 25Mmg Then start slowly working you're self down from there,
Hello. New here. Never reached out but need too. Have never abused nor used drugs in my life till I got fibromyalgia and doctor tried me on meds. None worked and then the hell of all meds patch was prescribed. I have been suicidal. Slit wrists almost willing to do anthing to rid my life. My son is the only reason I'm still alive and not letting this drug kill me. As someone will depression I find this is making it much worse and need off but don't wanna go on methadone. Pls encouragement. By the way been 36 days of non smoker and I think I can conquer this but at same time I have doubts. Anyone can lend a kind word or two to this loving caring emotional woman. ?? Thanks
Never come off a prescription drug of this magnitude without supervision of a health care provider.I have been on fentynol for approx.13 years now and trying to come off all the pain medication .the doctor can give you xanax and anti nausea medications to get you through the bulk of with drawls in any situation this is going to suck but please if you can get someone to help you .there have been people who have passes away fron going through theses types of withdrawls ..well good luck to us all and eish everyone luck to handle the demon that this drug is
When I got off the patch, I was abusing all kinds of pills at the same time, so I know what you are going through. It is hard. The insomnia is killer. I had leg cramps for about 6 months!
I don't think it is dangerous???? You are probably past the worst of it, don't ya think?
