Lost my ins. and i'm had to quit cold turkey from fentanyl 50mcg patch that i've been on a year or two. how long does the side effects take while w/d?

Opioid withdrawal: Good question. Symptoms of opioid withdrawal tend to appear 1-2 days after your last dose. You may feel flu-like symptoms, aching, the need to yawn or a bit agitated. You may find this information helpful too http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000949.htm

Depends: Martin, depending on how long you have been on Fentanyl, the withdrawal symptoms could last for several weeks, although they will decrease in severity as your body decreases the opiate receptors. If you don't have access to a doctor to prescribe medicine, mild to moderate exercise could help, as it releases the body's natural opiates. Hope this helps!
