Thank you for your reply
Yes, I am trying to wean off fentanyl. I have made it 5 days with out the patch.
It really feels good and gives me self respect.  I have meds to help.
However, no my doctor doesn't know. He will not  or does not agree with getting off this drug. I seem to be feeling more like myself before the fentanyl patch. I may end up actually needing it at times, due to the pain level,
Did you have any suggestions to ease withdrawals? Would love to hear your wisdom. Thank you!

I'm not sure what you're saying.  Are you trying to wean off the Fentanyl?  There are better ways to do it than stretching it 4 days.  Does your doctor know about this?  They can help you wean down if that's what you're trying to do.
