That's encouraging, A - Sometimes I feel I will NEVER get there, but you're right, it'll happen. I appreciate the support. Let me know if I can ever do same for you - V
You're welcome, I really hope you start feeling better and that maybe this 2nd shot helps you. Glad your bloodwork is ok too. Don't let what you hear get you down, it could be 8 weeks it could be another week, just go at your own pace. You'll get there :)
Thanks so much for the post, A. Blood work is ok. While in hospital, my potassium levels were dangerously low. I'm told fentanyl interferes with the body's production of it. Wish I knew that and much else earlier. I'd NO idea how powerful this stuff is - it just took away my migraines, didn't change how I felt otherwise.
You're so right, 10 years, a long time. I should keep that in mind when I'm tempted to feel sorry for myself. From all that I hear, I might still have 8 weeks of this utter exhaustion. Got a B-12 shot today, my 2nd one -- hopefully that'll help a little - first did nothing.
Hey, thanks again
Hello,
I detoxed off of Fentanyl 4 years ago and it took me a good 14 days but I was only on the patch for a year, so I am considering myself very lucky in comparison to what you are going through. Two months...wow, has your doctor ruled out anything else that could be wrong, have you had blood work done since you quit? Ten years though, that's a very long time to be on something so strong and I would say it's going to take a while for your body to repair itself. Are you trying to eat right and exercise? That may help move things along a little. Hang in there, there were a couple long term members here that came off Fentanyl, maybe they are still around and can chime in. Good luck to you :)
