Well here goes, I paranoid, cant go to the bathroom a lot of times, sweaty t times, sick at stomach here and there, get cold limbs sometimes. Cant remember short term at all, I honestly forget 1 minute ago , but not all the time, there is long term memory loss, which i really hate, NERVOUSNESS is horrible, stress and anxiety can be very high , unless my life is in an ideal status which is nearly never, I do get flu effects on and off, I must change patches every two days 10 percent of patients must do this, or you get withdrawals, and that is an experience in its own, you get body tremors really bad back aches, all over. nausea, tremors. If you get really hot a sweat because of the enviroment my patch runs out qucker and then you feel like you are about to collpase from to much drugs, its sort of like you get so weak and thirsty you feel like you will drop dead any moment. so avoid hig heated areas for lenghty time. I double cover my patch with clothing if outdoors without a choice.Im aggressive at times and then im often very depressed, a lot of times. Crying spells , stupid stuff i cant control, and Im no wimp so its hard to deal with. Im an ex jarhed so the weakness is character is hard to swallow. However if I didn't wear this patch i couldnt make it through a day without so much pain, that it would be unbearable. I was in the hospital weekly before this patch. I have severe back issues, things that cant be fixed, well thats it in a nutshell, there is more but you can ask me if you want, i have been on the patch for 3.5 years.

Hey man I realize it has been a long time since you posted this about the Fentanyl. I am going thorough the same thing. I've been married for almost 33 years and my wife might have seen me tear up a couple times in those years but I am so depressed from this stuff and my emotions are so on the edge that I ball at the drop of a hat. My son had just been diagnosed with a terrible malignant brain cancer about 6 months ago and I did cry some at that but I can understand that. When I went to the doctor to try to get off of this crap I could hardly get through a conversation without blubberin and snottin all over. My physical side effects are bad enough, body aches, sweats, chills and jerking around, but the emotional thing is ruining my life. Did you ever get over that part of it. I have only been off of it for a few days but I'm still struggling. I drove around on my tractor mowing weeds this morning ballin while I was doin it. At this point in my life I don't feel like I will ever enjoy anything in life again.
If you get this send me a quick note. Good Luck

I just want to thank you - you have made me and my husband feel a lot less crazy!!! Ever since he's been on the patch he has been a different person - plus the side effects seem to be increasing the longer he's on it...he too has back issues but is going in for surgery soon so I hope to be done with this patch and not see my husband go through this anymore. You have given me an insight as to how it feels to be on that even more...I have noticed he seems to get worse on the third day of the patch, which we'll be talking to dr about. I just want to thank you for helping us realize he's not crazy and that he is not alone with how he feels or the side effects. I think dr's need to take one of these things and see how it feels to try to function...My husband tries but it is difficult. I hope things get better for you but again THANK YOU!
