Yes - it is. BUT it takes awhile and it isnt like the zanax or diazepam as far as addiction...also not quite the same affect, but still a good one to use...

It is addictive but that is what we used for detox at one of the treatment centers I worked at.

to answer rello i am on the fourth day of fentanyl withdrawals.  For about two years I've been abusing the duragesic patches that you are meant to wear by cutting them open and ingesting the fentanyl gel.  I used to be really bad into it but lately, before these four days, I was taking about 25 micrograms and about 40 to 50 millograms of percocet a day.  That was me tapering down from 100 micros of fentanyl and around 10 to 15 10 millogram percs.  
Well thanks guys for the librium advice its helping me greatly.  I originally wanted to get on suboxone but it was waaaay too expensive.  Due to my drug abuse tendencies my mom has been keeping the librium and administering it to me as needed.  I was just scared that once I was out of it I'd be withdrawaling off of THAT.  But it sounds like I'll be okay, though I'm thinking I should taper off it as well.
I feel so good today like there is actually hope.  Of course I'm only in the beginning so we'll see.  Last time I quit I made it two weeks and relapsed.  One of the reasons for the relapse was that my mom takes percocet (prescribed to her) and also wears fentanyl patches for three ruptured discs in her back. (Yes, I started by stealing from her) Though she keeps them locked up now, its just such a trigger when I see her pop a perc or see the patch on her.  Any advice on how to get through these triggers?
