I was on 25 mcg of fentanyl and was having side effects so I took the patch off 3 days ago, Now I am in terrible pain all over and can barely get out of bed. What can I do ? If I can tough it out a few more days will I get better?
How long withdrawal lasts depends on how long you've been on the medication. Fentanyl withdrawal can be pretty intense so definitely call your doctor. He should be able to prescribe something else for you.
Fentanyl withdrawal can be very difficult. Call your doctor. They may be able to give you something that will make it a little easier. It's always best to talk to the doctor before stopping a medication so you can experience the least side effects possible.
