How long

Hi all,
I recently went off a 75mcg Fentanyl patch that I was on for 3 months.  I have cronic pain in my feet due to Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome.  The Pain Mgmt doc told me how to come down and boy was he wrong.  Had all the detox sypmtoms, sweating, muscle aches, cramps, confusion.

It has been 11 days since I took the last patch off and my head still seems to be "foggy."  Can anyone tell me if this is normal and if so how long these symptoms last?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I don't know anything about the patches but I just wanted to say it is awesome that you've went that long without one.  You are doing great!!!  There are many people on here that can give you good advice.  I've heard of a couple that have had experiences with the patches.  Alot of very helpful supportive people on here as well.  Anytime u wanna talk, I come on here daily.  Good luck to you and I'll be praying for you, take care and god bless u, Lil.  :)
