Oh and one more thing. I am over 580 days clean and have never been happier or healthier. It can be done and your life will get back to normal. Good luck to you I know you can do this with the right help.
Talk to your doctor!!!! C/T from this drug can be very dangerous and with all your other stuff going on I would not take any chances. I detoxed from this drug c/t but didn't have any of the other issues that you have. I can honestly say that the worst part for me was the emotional part and without being on an anti-depressant I am not sure I would have made it. You really must seek the help of your doctor, for your own safety.
If anyone tells you to cut the patches to decrease dose, tell them they need to learn more - Its a time release formulary and there have been cases of people killing themselves by trying to taper that way ....... look in the Health Pages of MedHelp for some good information........
Fentanyl is the most ferocious of the narcotic withdrawals - - but that doesnt mean that it cant be done! It still only lasts a week to 10 days of thinking that you are dieing....... watch hydration very carefully - I wound up at outpatient IV fluid therapy from not keeping liquids in system - either through loose stools or vomiting. Have immodium and emetrol on hand for sure - if you are obtaining these legally through a Doc he/she can help with meds for anxiety and sleep ........... Get something to take your mind off the wd's - - comedic movies work fine and so do good books........just do something even if iots walking to the mailbox once daily! Just do it!!
