Was already on vicodin when started fentanyl patch 25 mcg. Then had to go up to 50 mcg because lower back pain was so bad. On it for 3 months when new Dr discovered that intense, painful physical Therapy made the pain go away in 4 weeks. Then the withdrawal came. 5 weeks to get off Vicodin, nausea, sweats, difficulty sleeping, etc... But this was small compared to tapering off Fentanyl. Mostly had nausea, stomach pain, sweats, irritability, depression, constipation, and fatigue. Avoid this if you can by never starting Fentanyl.
