I disagree a little that if you don't have the mental addiction, it easier to kick, I believe. If your mind doesn't crave it strongly, and it more a physical dependence, It shouldn't be as hard because you don't have the mental torture which can make WD's worse in many cases. Because you are not a real drug addict, you don't have to deal with that horrible craving because you never got the same kick or high as a regular addict like me and others got. all the best
yeah the wd is not going to be any different whether you are addicted or not ...your body has become dependent on a day to day basis.It is going to be a very hard wd SilverTears's she has been threw it I am sure she will advice you good luck ...she has a post a few down from yours check it out .
Sorry to hear of your economic probelms! Have you contacted the manafactor to see if they can help with the cost of your patches?
If not and you are really going to go off the patch, I would say wean off slowly get your doctor to prescribe lower doses to start the process.
I'm also physically addicted to fentenyl and for my story I have a lot of probelms with it, and I'm in the process of going off it. I have probelms on it every other day as I go through some w/d symptoms and decreasing the dose has really set those off more so. The doctor gave me Zanaflex to help with some of the w'd but it is really short acting. I know that the benzo's usally help (clonopin and so on). There is also a Thomas recipie that has help a lot of folks on here.
Anyways I wish you the best of luck!
