I have been wearing the 50mcg/h fentanyl patch (changing it every 2-3 days) for 1 week, I don't like it and I want to stop immediately. Am I going to feel withdrawals if I stop using the patch after only 1 week. Please answer me as soon as you can... I have a very busy life and can't afford to go through withdrawals. Thank you for any reliable info anyone can give me 
!!

poptart, i would not stop this med on your own contact your dr, and see if they can change your dose or wheen you off slowly! i was on them for a few months and stopped them cold turkey and the withdrawals were awful! I am not a dr. or nurse so check with them and hopefully they can help you through it!! i hated them so bad and didn't know what day it was and din't care! when i would eat it came right back up so i understand why you would want to stop them!! hope this helps you!! good luck, and best wishes to you!! paraintn!
