dilaudid self withdrawal

[gutha]

I have been going to the DR weekly for chronic pancreatitis. Each stay I would get 2-3 mg IV for about 24 hrs than would start by mouth day b4 discharge. Gave tapering instructions on discharge. I have 50mcg fentanyl patch. Have appt with pain doc nearby but not till next Wednesday. I am tired all the time, no interest to do anything, restless sleep at night. I am 3 days off. What more can I expect?

I successfully tapered off Dilaudid before (not with a Fentanyl patch though). Your on day 3 which seems to be the worst for many people. Hang in there....you should start seeing improvement soon! Maybe check out the Thomas Recipe.

It sounds like the beginning stages of withdrawal. It gets a lot worse if you went completely off the pills... I'm glad saw the doc n plz follow the instructions the doctors know what to do
It's gonna be a hard lil while ahead of you. I personally couldn't taper so I ended up taking way more n would never drop. I jus went cold turkey.
