You're heading in the right direction with gaining knowledge and also being honest with the doctors.  Fentanyl can be hard to taper off, but it can be done.  I had been on it for pain management and didn't feel it was a good medicine for me.  I tapered slowly with using other medications, under doctor's supervision somewhat (they didn't really want me to come off it.)  Look into the Thomas Recipe for help with any withdrawal symptoms.  Sometimes, even if you taper, you wind up in mild or moderate withdrawals.  Staying hydrated is very important and there are things you can do to help with that.  No worries on the spelling.

Here is the Thomas Recipe...You are on very high doses of fentanyl and should not go off without your doctor's supervision.  There are other medications that help with opiate detox that they can prescribe like clonidine.  Please take good loving care of yourself and keep posting!

HI........well it time to get off them if your getting withdrawals between patched and a 70hr dose is only lasting 5hr you could go to your doctor and have hime work out a taper plan im a little reluctant to tell you to go C/T because of your health problems best to ask the doctor for a taper plan and give the patches to someone you trust to give to you according to the plan let us know what the doctor says again to many health problems to risk just jumping off.......Gnarly
