Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Beth, They are being very inhumane in their treatment of you. They can't expect you to come of such a strong narcotic without any help at all or titrating. Give them hell! Tell them you can't take it anymore and that they HAVE to do something for you. Loose it if you have to(not that you are very far away from that anyway), sometimes that is the only thing that gets their attention.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Posted April 22, 2006 Hi Beth, shew, I don't know how you are doing it, not being abot to sleep and still going in to work. I have never tried Lunesta, so I'm not sure how it works, but I use Ambien and usually I can go to sleep on five mg. but occasionally I will need to take two of them (ten mg.) My husband was on Fentanyl Patches for quite a while. When he decided to switch to Oxycontin, there was a 17 hour withdrawal period from the manufaturer. I think he actually withdrew for about 24 hours. If you have been off of them for three or four days now, you should start to feel yourself again shortly. Just keep in touch with your doctor so he knows how to handle your meds and your withdrawals. Good luck with it and I hope it ends real soon for you. Big huggs, Sandy Moderator > > Thanks again and any help on holw long the detox from Fentanyl is I am all ears. > Beth > Quote
