A member asked:
I've been on fentanyl patch 12.5 mcg for two weeks. i decided to stop it due to side effects. can i expect any withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narcotics: The risk of significant withdrawal symptoms is low. Fentanyl is a potent narcotic and before stopping any medication it is important to discuss with the prescribing physician first. There may be an alternative pain medicine that can help you without the side effects.
