I wound up hospitalized with dehydration when I tried to CT off Fentanyl.  I wound up tapering.  It was manageable (barely) but it lasted a long time.  Fentanyl is not like other narcotics.  It stores in your fat and muscle so the withdrawal takes longer.  You've tried the tricks for the rls. The only thing I can think of is taking a magnesium supplement.  It helped me.  Good luck.  You're very strong doing this ct.
