A member asked:
What is the best way to wean off 5 years use 100mcg fentanyl patches when becoming pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slowly: Your detox or pain specialist should assist you. Never cut the patches in half. Never ever do this. They come in 12, 25 and 50mcg increments. You doc can step you down slowly and carefully. Make sure you are off before you become pregnant.
