A 61-year-old female asked:

I sometimes get symptoms from the fentanyl and wondered if i come off the 100mg patch (which i have been on for 5 hrs now and still have pain) can i just come off them straight away? will i have withdrawals?

Do not suddenly stop your Fentanyl patch, as this is the most potent legal narcotic analgesic and a nasty withdrawal can occur. Contact your doctor, and work closely. This is far from simple, but can be solved. Best of luck.

I've been trying to get off fentanyl for a while now. I cant do inpatient treatment, due to several reasons. I've tried methadone, Subutex was discontinued and suboxone puts me in precipitated withdrawal. Any suggestions besides the usual answers?
