A member asked:
Can long term use of fentanyl patch lead to extreme hypersensitivity after stopping use? three years of hypersensitive pain that is horrible.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fentanyl patches: Long term use of any opioid causes dependence. The hypersensitivity you refer to is opioid induced hyperalgesia - this can be seen and is really dose and time dependent.
