I was put on fentanyl pain patches after surgery to remove the bone in my upper arm. I never abused them but they put them on me in rehab and my family Dr. is helping me taper off. They're 100 times the strength of morphine and scary as heII. They're dangerous and they keep me scared because of all the things that can cause OD. Just type "fentanyl pain patch" in your browser and you're sure to see something to scare you. LOL

I have a friend who is dropping down to a lower patch, also. I haven't heard from him yet today, so I'm worried.
I hope to be off of these things before summer. I was on 100mcg(that's the amount released per hour) and then I went to 75, then 50, now 25 plus a 12, and hopefully this week down to just 25. I honestly wouldn't put them on my dog. I fear for anyone that is on them.

Sorry about going on like that. My soap box was holding me up pretty good. lol

Take care.....LS

I do understand about those patches I was on 5 100's at a time yes 5 patches stuck to me. Plus 1920mg of oxy. a day. I tapered myself off of the patches and went c/t off of the oxy. for 30+ days. Pain was so bad doctor put me back on oxy. at a much lower dose. Hang in there it can be done I'll say a prayer for you tonight.

Were you on the fentanyl patches or some other kind?? I have grown to hate them. I was on 100mcg and and with my Drs. help I will be on 25mg within the next week. Then not to far from being off the damn things!!!! Through all of it I have had rls, but only about five times so I consider myself lucky.

You keep posting!! Always glad to hear from people I can learn from. Thanks........LS
