Wow, just typed into this site to see how to maybe detox off  fentanyl.. Well let me start by saying that I've been on fentanyl for just over 10 years or so.  I was in a motorcycle accident in 1990 was 27 at the time and broke just about every big bone in the body.  Compound fracture of left tib-fib, totally smashed pelvis (over 20 fractures in pelvis) 5 broken discs in lower  back, 8 broken ribs, broken right leg, ankle, toes, well, you get  the picture, still have a lot of the hardware in the body. A lot of pain over the years healing to the point where as I say about 10 years ago my Dr. recommended the patch.  Started like many of you with 25's with the old jel type, then didn't work much so went to 50, then 75 until now where I'm up to 150 every other day, however I keep the old ones on for the day I put the new ones on, so for one day I'm on 300mm.  My story is one of six of one, half a dozen the other.  I'm at a point and have been for over 2  years where I'm relatively pain free or at least very tolerable.  I work 60 hrs a week in a steel mill making pipe to go in the ocean and ground and walk on concrete or stand there for between 8-12 hrs a day.  So, when I'm at work it becomes painful, and when I get home its also a little painful.  But the less pain associated with patch has taken a back seat to my personal life with the symptoms of the fentanyl.  It has taken away my spirit, my sex life, my love of walks in the bush with my wife and dog, I have terrible shakes  during the night and day and convulse suddenly with my legs and arms just flying uncontrollably. In a matter of seconds I start sweating profusely starting at my head and working down to my feet. Other times I'm cold when I forget to change the patch on time. I have no extra energy to do anything with the family or do those husbandly or fatherly things around the house, like building a new deck or making a garden, things like shoveling the  driveway or cutting the grass in summer become a real chore and I have to give myself a good pep talk to even attempt this and it has to be when the fentanyl patch is just at its peak working time where I get a burst of energy.  My emotions are all over  the  place, when I have them. Happiness seems along time ago in the past and a feeling of hopelessness is now in its place.  I don't feel like a good father to my girls or husband to my wife. They say not to worry, they understand, but when your a man, this doesn't do anything for your ego, you know there just being nice. Ive never wanted to be a wussy so I don't  complain too much but when these pain medications take away your soul its hard to get it back and I want mine back.  I used to be funny, into sports, hockey,football, baseball, etc....I was a correctional officer/counsellor for young offenders and enjoyed helping young men get their lives back. For any of you out there taking the patch for any period of time, you probably have had some or all of these symptoms at one time or other. I have now have been diagnosed  with rheumatoid arthritis to go with my other aches and pains. I was off work for a year and went nuts. You get the comments from guys or relative that it must be nice to stay home and collect disability.  Ya right, that's not the type of guy I am. Its not like I was on the golf course every day or vacationing in Cuba with all my millions. When a man is born he has the instincts of being the man of his house, bringing home the bacon, teaching the kids how to play sports, twisting wrenches under his truck.  You get what  I mean. I don't want to show weakness to my family or friends and relatives, I want to be strong and what used to  work for me has now got my being a slave to the drug. I'm now 51 and want to try and work another 9  years if possible, if I can tolerate the pain but if I try and wean off the patch, I'm wondering how it will effect my body? Can I do this alone? I'm a stubborn man so I think I can do it but from reading some or most of these posts, I wonder if I should go to a rehab agency and explain my problem? I have accidently detoxed for a few hours after losing my patches while swimming and not noticing till very later when it was too late.  Very agitated, very cold feeling like sitting on a cube of ice in a meat locker  with electrodes on your body sending little bits of current into you. I curled my fist into a ball and punched my pillow all nite and grinded my teeth. Not cool to say the  least. I've since tried making a tea out of my patch if I forget to get it on me in time. put a mug of hot water into the microwave and put the patch in it, stir around for a bit and drink the water, not all of it and only one or half a patch.  I know you shouldn't do that or I don't recommend that but it beats assaulting pillows. Lately though, I just want my soul back, maybe the pain is worth feeling feelings again. Having a smile on my face, starting a project, taking my wife to Cuba and enjoying the sun on on my face and hot sand on my toes. Dare to dream again about retiring and having fun with my wife, giving away my daugters at theire marriage and dancing with them. What do you recommend people? I've talked to my Dr. and he says I shouldn't go off.  I asked about medical marijuana and he says no to that but he rams heavy duty drugs down my throat. So, what does a 51 year old 10yr fentanyl user do? Suggestions please and thank you. I've  also had a ton of other opiates in the the mix over the years, perks, oxy;s, vicadin, etc....don't use these anymore, totally free from these for a couple years.

Physiotherapy is best option for pain management. They will give you some exercise to do and some natural media treatment for relaxation. If you do all thing perfectly and regular as per suggestion then it will be definitely helpful for you.
